A six-year graduation rate of 20% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. A 18% 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 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. With 6,507 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,718 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $10,989 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $7,555 at $0–30k against $13,517 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 51% get grants averaging $2,505, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 19% 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.
