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. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 1,380 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. 49% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 33% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
Federal student loans went to 451 of these 1,361 students, totalling $2,639,335 — an average of $5,852 each.
