Academics
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.
Financial Aid
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 |
| $75–110k | $37,190 |
