Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 97% of applicants are accepted. With 1,186 applicants, admissions statistics here move a lot on small changes. 36% of those admitted enroll, which is unremarkable in either direction. 19% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 500–640 | 78 (19%) |
| SAT Math | 510–630 | |
| ACT Composite | 19–26 | 245 (59%) |

Six-year completion sits at 56%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. 15% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. At 19:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,907 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $22,391 annually once grants are applied. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $17,818 at the $0–30k band to $27,472 at $110k+. 89% of students get grant aid averaging $15,926, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. About 45% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $17,818 |
| $30–48k | $18,908 |
| $48–75k | $18,849 |
| $75–110k | $23,184 |
| $110k+ | $27,472 |
