Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 15% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Just 34% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. With 59% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 726 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,634 annually once grants are applied. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $12,765 at the $0–30k band to $22,564 at $110k+. 73% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,859 — common but not automatic. About 43% 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 | $12,765 |
| $30–48k | $13,499 |
| $48–75k | $14,810 |
