Academics
Completion is middling: 53% finish inside six years. 82% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. 47% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 57 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $13,922 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $8,932 at $0–30k, $9,199 at $75–110k. About 84% get grants averaging $12,015, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
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 | $8,932 |
| $30–48k | $9,200 |
| $48–75k | $12,175 |
