Student:faculty
17:1

Completion is the problem here: 15% graduate within six years. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. 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. 17% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 777 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $6,032 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($3,118 versus $9,112), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 62% get grants averaging $5,796, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 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.

Family income band Average net price
$0–30k $3,118
$30–48k $3,217
$48–75k $4,835
