The median ten-year earnings figure of $58,289 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. Six-year completion sits at 58%, near the national average for undergraduate institutions. Debt is the pressure point: a median of $27,000 at graduation. Mobility is where this school separates itself: 2.3% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top.

Admissions

Acceptance rate
68%
Applicants
2,901
Yield rate
14.5%

68% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. 2,901 applications came in, enough to make the rates below reasonably stable year to year. A 15% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Full-time retention
73%
Transfer-out rate
0%
Student:faculty
10:1

Six-year completion sits at 58%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 73% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 920 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $24,628 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($19,368 versus $26,748), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $25,826, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 75% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

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.

Family income band Average net price
