Student:faculty
26:1

Six-year completion sits at 47%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. 83% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. 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. The 26:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.

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.
