Academics
Completion is the problem here: 19% graduate within six years. Just 48% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. The 69% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. A 30:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,617 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,528 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,863 at $0–30k, $14,418 at $110k+. About 80% get grants averaging $5,824, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. About 46% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $8,863 |
| $30–48k | $7,994 |
| $48–75k | $9,962 |
