Academics
Only 11% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. Retention of 73% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The part-time picture is harder: 41% return, against 73% full-time. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 137 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $2,513 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $3,248 at $0–30k, $4,570 at $30–48k. Most students get help: 93% receive grants worth $5,130 on average.
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.
