Academics
Completion is the problem here: 20% graduate within six years. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. With 40% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 57 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $11,591 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($6,300 versus $9,206), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 67% of students receive grant aid, averaging $8,304 — common but not automatic.
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.

| $30–48k | $6,300 |
| $48–75k | $6,300 |
