Academics
81% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention is 77% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 11:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate population is 4,350 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,350 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $6,193 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $4,027 at $0–30k, $5,993 at $75–110k. Only 25% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price.
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.
