Academics
Only 30% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. First-year retention is 65% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. Retention drops to 34% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. At 22:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,999 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $9,809 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($10,049 versus $15,041), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 77% get grants averaging $6,045, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 34% 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 | $10,049 |
| $30–48k | $9,803 |
| $48–75k | $11,575 |
