Academics
Six-year completion sits at 53%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. 16% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Retention drops to 45% 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 15,619 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $11,333 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $7,796 at $0–30k against $14,300 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 64% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,754 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 19% 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 | $7,796 |
| $30–48k | $8,300 |
| $48–75k | $10,157 |
| $75–110k | $12,596 |
| $110k+ | $14,300 |
