Completion is middling: 45% finish inside six years. 72% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 497 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,669 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $5,208 at $0–30k against $7,684 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 78% of students at an average of $6,155.
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.
