Academics
Completion is middling: 59% finish inside six years. First-year retention is 76% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. At 9:1, 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 66 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $737 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($689 versus $3,805), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 91% of students get grant aid averaging $6,919, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
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.
