56% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 71% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. Transfer-out runs to 28% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,148 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,662 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $15,346 while those at $110k+ pay $28,004. Most students get help: 95% receive grants worth $27,289 on average. Federal borrowing reaches 48% 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 | $15,346 |
| $30–48k | $17,863 |
| $48–75k | $21,262 |
