Transfer-out rate
16%
Student:faculty
21:1

Six-year completion sits at 50%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. 16% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 18% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,018 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $5,664 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,623 at $0–30k against $10,055 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 85% of students receive it, averaging $5,647. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 13% of students.

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.

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.

$48–75k $6,144
