Academics
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. Retention is strong at 89%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The part-time picture is harder: 48% return, against 89% full-time. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 295 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,379 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $18,081 at $0–30k against $19,120 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 62% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,716 — common but not automatic. 67% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $18,081 |
| $30–48k | $23,250 |
| $48–75k | $25,208 |
| $75–110k | $20,789 |
| $110k+ | $19,120 |
