Academics

Full-time retention
67%
Transfer-out rate
28%
Student:faculty
15:1

Only 32% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Retention of 67% 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. Transfer-out runs to 28% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 31% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 887 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $10,574 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $7,452 at $0–30k, $13,354 at $110k+. About 54% get grants averaging $4,686, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 39% 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.

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.

$48–75k $10,126
