44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 65% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. Retention drops to 33% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,505 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,585 annually once grants are applied. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $14,517 at the $0–30k band to $24,590 at $110k+. 83% of students receive grant aid, averaging $9,906 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 62% take federal loans.
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

| $0–30k | $14,517 |
| $30–48k | $15,027 |
| $48–75k | $15,646 |
