Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 32% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 68% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three 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. Transfer-out runs to 15% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 41% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,284 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $5,450 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $3,865 at the $0–30k band to $12,016 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 59% of students at an average of $5,341. 7% 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.
