Academics
Completion is the problem here: 10% graduate within six years. 45% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. 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 14% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 143 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,527 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($13,652 versus $20,301), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 97% of students receive it, averaging $6,902. Borrowing is widespread: 60% take federal loans.
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 | $15,844 |
