Admissions
75% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. The applicant pool runs to 2,956, typical for a school of this reach. A 10% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. 28% of enrolled first-years submitted an ACT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.

Six-year completion sits at 63%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Transfer-out runs to 23% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. A 9:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 980 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $9,677 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The income table below is the number that matters — $1,694 at $0–30k versus $16,262 at $110k+. Most students get help: 94% receive grants worth $15,878 on average. 38% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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

| $0–30k | $1,694 |
| $30–48k | $4,126 |
| $48–75k | $3,213 |
