Academics
54% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 63% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. Retention drops to 0% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. At 33:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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

Students pay an average of $23,861 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,396 at $0–30k against $14,716 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 95% of students receive it, averaging $6,458.
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.

| $30–48k | $23,763 |
| $48–75k | $23,246 |
