Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 27% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 64% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The part-time picture is harder: 40% return, against 64% full-time. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 25,873 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,803 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,696 at $0–30k, $15,112 at $110k+. 88% of students get grant aid averaging $5,974, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Federal borrowing reaches 46% of students.
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 | $8,696 |
| $30–48k | $9,066 |
| $48–75k | $10,785 |
