Student:faculty
32:1

Completion is middling: 44% finish inside six years. 36% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. 15% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. A 32:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 350 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price averages $33,371 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Net price varies modestly by income — $31,982 at $0–30k against $39,005 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 87% of students get grant aid averaging $5,624, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 71% take federal loans.

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 $31,982
$30–48k $32,303
$48–75k $35,397
