Academics
Only 40% finish within six years, so roughly three in five students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 50% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. 22% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. A 27:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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 3,739 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $12,895 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The income table below is the number that matters — $7,146 at $0–30k versus $17,228 at $110k+. About 72% get grants averaging $9,030, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. About 37% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $7,146 |
| $30–48k | $7,982 |
| $48–75k | $11,884 |
