Academics
Only 15% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. 24% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 56% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 376 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,250 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $8,307 at $0–30k against $10,233 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 89% of students receive it, averaging $4,767.
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 | $8,307 |
| $30–48k | $11,873 |
| $48–75k | $13,831 |
| $75–110k | $10,233 |
