Admissions

A six-year graduation rate of 36% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 76% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. 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. A 22:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 1,149 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,381 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $9,062 at $0–30k, $13,891 at $110k+. 88% of students get grant aid averaging $6,207, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 12% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,062 |
| $30–48k | $9,480 |
| $48–75k | $11,307 |
