Academics
Completion is middling: 45% finish inside six years. 65% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. 19% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 49% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,360 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,581 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,725 at $0–30k against $10,822 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 68% of students at an average of $7,184. Only 6% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $3,725 |
| $30–48k | $2,243 |
| $48–75k | $6,870 |
| $75–110k | $7,426 |
| $110k+ | $10,822 |
