44% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 68% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 37% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,949 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $7,678 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 — $8,343 at $0–30k against $9,593 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 56% get grants averaging $4,483, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 1% 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.

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.
