58% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 79% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. At 13:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,230 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $8,981 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $6,547 at $0–30k against $14,288 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 39% of students receive any. Federal borrowing reaches 43% 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.
