Six-year completion runs to 66% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. First-year retention of 85% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. Transfer-out runs to 22% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. The part-time picture is harder: 32% return, against 85% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,988 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,983 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $16,528 while those at $110k+ pay $26,741. About 72% get grants averaging $12,777, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 53% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $16,528 |
| $30–48k | $17,751 |
| $48–75k | $17,364 |
