Admissions

The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.

Six-year completion sits at 60%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 87% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. 24% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. A 5:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 933 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,311 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,867 at $0–30k, $19,735 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 89% of students receive it, averaging $10,197. 47% 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 | $19,867 |
| $30–48k | $13,037 |
| $48–75k | $11,567 |
