Academics
Completion is the problem here: 22% graduate within six years. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. With 2,825 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,024 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,817 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,029 at $0–30k against $13,901 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 67% of students at an average of $3,050.
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 | $9,029 |
| $30–48k | $7,192 |
| $48–75k | $7,503 |
| $75–110k | $13,901 |
