Academics
Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. First-year retention of 92% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. With 69% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The student-faculty ratio is 21:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 225 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $8,592 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($3,247 versus $8,287), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 91% receive grants worth $13,578 on average.
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 | $3,247 |
| $30–48k | $4,931 |
| $48–75k | $5,629 |
