Academics
Six-year completion sits at 42%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate population is 2,493 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.

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.
