Academics
Only 40% finish within six years, so roughly three in five students leave without the credential. First-year retention is 62% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. Retention drops to 44% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. 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 4,311 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $4,973 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($3,766 versus $713), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 65% get grants averaging $5,047, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 1% of students.
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 | $3,766 |
| $30–48k | $3,175 |
| $48–75k | $4,452 |
