Student:faculty
16:1

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The part-time picture is harder: 38% return, against 75% full-time. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 209 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $19,539 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,634 versus $19,920), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 55% get grants averaging $3,087, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 55% take federal loans to cover the gap.

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 $15,333
$48–75k $23,503
