Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 77% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 40% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — 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 349 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,464 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($14,530 versus $20,905), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 60% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,423 — common but not automatic. 49% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $14,530 |
| $30–48k | $15,810 |
