Completion is middling: 42% finish inside six years. Retention of 64% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 42% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. At 23:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,853 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $9,012 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $6,327 at $0–30k, $13,619 at $110k+. 74% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,651 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 1% 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.
