Admissions
61% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. The applicant pool is small at 1,386, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 90% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate. Score ranges below describe the middle half of score submitters among enrolled first-years; students who applied test-optional are not represented in them.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 640–710 | 562 (74%) |
| SAT Math | 610–700 | |
| ACT Composite | 27–31 | 341 (45%) |

A 75% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 95% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 13% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The part-time picture is harder: 85% return, against 95% full-time.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,577 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,965 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $1,477 at the $0–30k band to $12,923 at $110k+. About 59% get grants averaging $6,667, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 15% 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 | $1,477 |
| $30–48k | $2,286 |
| $48–75k | $5,171 |
