Yield sits at 36% — the remainder of admitted students enroll elsewhere or not at all. The score bands below rest on the 9% of enrolled first-years who submitted an SAT score — a self-selected group, and not a cutoff.

Completion is middling: 44% finish inside six years. Retention of 63% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 18:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 820 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,955 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $20,825 at $0–30k, $24,766 at $110k+. Most students get help: 92% receive grants worth $13,911 on average. 58% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

| $0–30k | $20,825 |
| $30–48k | $18,982 |
| $48–75k | $20,262 |
