Completion is middling: 53% finish inside six years. Retention is strong at 86%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. With 37% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 84 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,288 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,425 at $30–48k against $8,850 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 68% of students at an average of $6,940.
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.
