Academics
Only 24% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. 6,271 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,539 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $8,900 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($5,800 versus $12,292), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 55% of students receive grant aid, averaging $9,349 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 23% 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.

| $0–30k | $5,800 |
| $30–48k | $7,725 |
| $48–75k | $8,016 |
