Admissions
Selectivity is real here: only 56% of applicants are offered a place. The applicant pool runs to 1,665, typical for a school of this reach. 61% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 19% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 670–740 | 107 (19%) |
| SAT Math | 670–770 | |
| ACT Composite | 29–33 | 89 (16%) |

A 85% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 92% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate population is 3,111 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,960 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $39,681 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $24,103 at the $0–30k band to $69,618 at $110k+. 92% of students get grant aid averaging $30,264, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 17% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 618 students
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 | $24,103 |
| $30–48k | $25,462 |
| $48–75k | $28,207 |
| $75–110k | $41,944 |
| $110k+ | $69,618 |
