Student:faculty
8:1

Six-year completion runs to 67% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. 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. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 69% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 135 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $33,746 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($33,869 versus $33,005), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 64% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,219 — common but not automatic. 70% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

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.
