Academics
69% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 79% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention drops to 25% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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 358 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,372 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,148 at $0–30k against $6,914 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 98% receive grants worth $4,452 on average.
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.
