Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 27% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Retention of 60% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 15% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 27% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 9,578 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,905 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $3,899 at $0–30k, $10,633 at $110k+. About 59% get grants averaging $3,494, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Only 12% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $3,899 |
| $30–48k | $4,276 |
| $48–75k | $5,480 |
