Academics

Full-time retention
70%
Transfer-out rate
39%
Student:faculty
15:1

Six-year completion sits at 46%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 70% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. 39% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 31% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 789 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $27,332 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,270 at $0–30k against $30,874 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 92% of students receive it, averaging $16,472. Most students borrow — 68% take federal loans to cover the gap.

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.
