Academics
Completion is the problem here: 33% graduate within six years. 66% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. A 29% 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 part-time picture is harder: 36% return, against 66% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,689 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $6,104 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $3,592 while those at $110k+ pay $12,043. Grant aid reaches 50% of students at an average of $4,442. Only 3% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
