Six-year completion sits at 62%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 71% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. 2,680 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,599 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,618 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The income table below is the number that matters — $13,713 at $0–30k versus $28,572 at $110k+. About 83% get grants averaging $23,914, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 42% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $13,713 |
| $30–48k | $12,553 |
| $48–75k | $16,006 |
