Only 17% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. 40% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. 33% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 472 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $28,749 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($28,229 versus $31,212), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 96% receive grants worth $6,318 on average. 81% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
