Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention of 63% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Part-time retention runs ahead at 96% — a sign this campus supports non-traditional schedules well. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 185 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $20,316 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($18,630 versus $25,552), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 62% get grants averaging $3,013, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 74% take federal loans.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $18,630 |
| $30–48k | $19,862 |
| $48–75k | $22,902 |
| $75–110k | $27,484 |
| $110k+ | $25,552 |
