Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Retention of 75% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 38% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 2:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 121 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,232 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($18,321 versus $19,657), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 70% get grants averaging $7,062, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 69% take federal loans.
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
