46% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 69% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. At 19:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,851 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $7,945 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $7,200 at $0–30k against $14,498 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 87% of students receive it, averaging $7,162. Only 6% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 484 students
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 | $7,200 |
| $30–48k | $7,993 |
| $48–75k | $9,454 |
| $75–110k | $9,266 |
| $110k+ | $14,498 |
