Admissions
70% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. Only 10 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. A 14% yield rate is low: the admitted pool is much larger than the entering class.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 19% graduate within six years. 33% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. 81% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 53 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,468 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($9,755 versus $9,755), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 85% of students receive it, averaging $5,184.
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 | $9,755 |
| $30–48k | $9,527 |
| $48–75k | $9,755 |
