Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 31% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. With 6,097 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,074 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,013 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($9,838 versus $16,637), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 50% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,160 — common but not automatic.
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.
