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 of 65% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Unusually, part-time retention (90%) beats full-time, pointing to a student body that is part-time by design. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 475 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $32,606 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $30,951 at $0–30k against $37,871 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 68% of students at an average of $5,180. Federal borrowing reaches 47% 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.

| $0–30k | $30,951 |
| $30–48k | $31,451 |
| $48–75k | $27,694 |
