Ten-year median earnings of $38,716 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate is 23% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Graduates leave owing a median of $11,000 — modest by four-year standards.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

A six-year graduation rate of 23% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 23% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 21:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. 6,549 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,959 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $11,647 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,283 at $0–30k against $18,257 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 73% of students at an average of $7,503. About 30% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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 $15,625
