Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
46% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 174 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $9,373 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $6,124 at $0–30k, $7,979 at $30–48k. About 79% get grants averaging $3,822, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
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
