Academics
45% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. A 16% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 1,506, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 619 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $10,222 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $6,391 while those at $110k+ pay $16,497. About 61% get grants averaging $8,558, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 20% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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 | $6,391 |
| $30–48k | $6,959 |
| $48–75k | $7,869 |
