Academics
Only 23% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. At 13:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. With 13,453 undergraduates, this is a large institution — expect the administrative scale and the range of offerings that come with it.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 11,102 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,195 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($10,934 versus $14,968), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 66% get grants averaging $3,485, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Only 17% 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.

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 | $10,934 |
| $30–48k | $10,973 |
| $48–75k | $12,317 |
