Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 36% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention is 76% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. A 17% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The part-time picture is harder: 61% return, against 76% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,315 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,441 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $6,573 at $0–30k against $14,481 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 43% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Only 16% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $6,573 |
| $30–48k | $6,479 |
| $48–75k | $8,571 |
| $75–110k | $11,689 |
| $110k+ | $14,481 |
