Completion is the problem here: 31% graduate within six years. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore 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. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 46% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 30:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,453 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $9,563 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $8,904 at $0–30k against $12,535 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 84% get grants averaging $6,197, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Only 13% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
