The median ten-year earnings figure of $45,987 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. The six-year graduation rate is 21% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Median debt at graduation is $24,807, roughly typical for an undergraduate degree.

Admission is not the constraint here: 99% of applicants are accepted. With 200 applicants, admissions statistics here move a lot on small changes. 73% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

Full-time retention
52%
Transfer-out rate
32%
Student:faculty
26:1

Only 21% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. 52% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. The 32% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. The part-time picture is harder: 21% return, against 52% full-time.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,081 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $34,461 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($33,463 versus $39,024), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 86% of students receive it, averaging $5,153. Most students borrow — 65% 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.

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.
