Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 85% of applicants are accepted. 3,546 students applied in the most recent cycle — a mid-sized pool drawn mostly from the surrounding region. A 14% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class. 2% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.

Six-year completion sits at 57%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. With 35% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. 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 2,373 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,808 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The income table below is the number that matters — $19,203 at $0–30k versus $27,884 at $110k+. About 69% get grants averaging $27,963, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 54% 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 | $19,203 |
| $30–48k | $19,157 |
| $48–75k | $22,575 |
