Six-year completion sits at 42%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 63% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. 19% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 40% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,476 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $11,742 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,191 at $0–30k against $17,300 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 75% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,110 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 28% of students.

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.
