Academics
Only 35% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. First-year retention is 61% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. Retention drops to 38% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. A 21:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 853 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $3,743 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The income table below is the number that matters — $4,451 at $0–30k versus $13,634 at $75–110k. 73% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,756 — common but not automatic. Only 14% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
