Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 341 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $27,595 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $27,844 at $0–30k against $32,315 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 52% get grants averaging $4,305, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 51% of students.
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 | $27,844 |
| $30–48k | $28,317 |
| $48–75k | $29,244 |
