A six-year graduation rate of 32% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. First-year retention of 80% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. 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. 16% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 592 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $4,781 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,827 at $0–30k against $10,164 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 95% of students receive it, averaging $7,368. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 16% 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.

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 | $3,827 |
| $30–48k | $4,662 |
| $48–75k | $8,323 |
