- ! Graduation rate 26% — below national average
Academics
Completion is the problem here: 26% graduate within six years. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The 56% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 169 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,382 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $12,633 at $0–30k, $14,837 at $75–110k. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $11,048.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $12,633 |
| $30–48k | $12,659 |
| $48–75k | $14,356 |
| $75–110k | $14,837 |
