Academics
Only 27% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 55% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. Retention drops to 22% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. At 12:1, 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 2,441 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,882 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $20,035 at $0–30k against $24,557 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 82% of students at an average of $4,565. Borrowing is widespread: 61% 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.
