Ten years after entry, the median Neumann University student earns $57,817 — a solidly middle-of-the-pack result for an undergraduate institution. 54% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential.

54% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 72% — 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. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,574 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $28,469 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The income table below is the number that matters — $24,467 at $0–30k versus $34,471 at $110k+. 92% of students get grant aid averaging $24,266, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 76% 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
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $24,467 |
| $30–48k | $23,150 |
| $48–75k | $25,679 |
| $75–110k | $30,495 |
