Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 86%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The part-time picture is harder: 70% return, against 86% full-time. At 13:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 360 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $25,278 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $27,029 at $0–30k, $23,239 at $30–48k. Only 47% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Most students borrow — 58% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
