Completion is middling: 47% finish inside six years. 76% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 33% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,754 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,569 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $39,626 at $0–30k, $38,120 at $110k+. 85% of students get grant aid averaging $30,747, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Most students borrow — 56% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $39,626 |
| $30–48k | $39,938 |
| $48–75k | $41,909 |
