Completion is the problem here: 22% graduate within six years. First-year retention of 81% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. 63% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 353 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,824 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($10,333 versus $12,506), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 72% of students receive grant aid, averaging $8,244 — common but not automatic.
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.
