Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 42%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 16% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate population is 5,076 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,137 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,400 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,046 at $0–30k, $12,243 at $110k+. 48% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants.
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 | $8,046 |
| $30–48k | $8,612 |
| $48–75k | $10,731 |
| $75–110k | $11,682 |
| $110k+ | $12,243 |
