Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 13% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Just 48% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. Transfer-out runs to 19% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,507 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,916 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $5,332 at $0–30k against $9,850 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 61% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,025 — common but not automatic.
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 | $5,332 |
| $30–48k | $5,199 |
| $48–75k | $9,387 |
