44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 64% — 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. The 37% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 841 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,432 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $17,014 at $0–30k against $23,539 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 68% of students receive grant aid, averaging $10,211 — common but not automatic. About 50% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.

| $30–48k | $18,008 |
| $48–75k | $16,370 |
