41% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 62% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. 53% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 233 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $25,510 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($31,932 versus $35,904), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 94% of students receive it, averaging $14,486.

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.
