Academics
58% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 66% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 37% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,198 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,400 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,951 at $0–30k against $17,702 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 85% of students get grant aid averaging $6,908, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. About 26% 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.

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 | $11,951 |
| $30–48k | $12,963 |
| $48–75k | $14,548 |
| $75–110k | $16,892 |
| $110k+ | $17,702 |
