Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 87% of applicants are accepted. 5,052 students applied in the most recent cycle — a mid-sized pool drawn mostly from the surrounding region. Yield sits at 23% — the remainder of admitted students enroll elsewhere or not at all.
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.

Completion is middling: 55% finish inside six years. Retention is strong at 80%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. 26% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Retention drops to 36% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,468 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $11,745 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $9,741 at $0–30k, $14,866 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 76% of students at an average of $10,231. Federal borrowing reaches 44% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,741 |
| $30–48k | $10,127 |
| $48–75k | $11,665 |
| $75–110k | $13,903 |
| $110k+ | $14,866 |
