The six-year graduation rate is 31% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Borrowing stays contained, with median debt at graduation of $9,000.

Full-time retention

Student:faculty
16:1

Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. Transfer-out runs to 14% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 42% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,983 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $9,182 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $6,704 at $0–30k, $13,806 at $110k+. About 62% get grants averaging $7,312, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 21% of students.

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.
