Academics
50% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention is strong at 85%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. With 50% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 120 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,885 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,100 at $0–30k against $10,740 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 73% of students at an average of $9,990.
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 | $14,100 |
| $30–48k | $8,600 |
| $48–75k | $11,140 |
| $75–110k | $10,740 |
