Published undergraduate tuition and fees
Full-time, first-time undergraduate charge basis · Academic year 2024-25 · US dollars · tuition and required fees, not total cost of attendance.
State residency rules determine eligibility. Out-of-state charges are not a verified international-student quote. Housing, meals, insurance, travel and other expenses are additional; aid is not deducted.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | $16,810 | $41,400 | $1,250 |

Historical undergraduate admissions
Fall 2024 · first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate applicants.
Reported enrolled first-time undergraduates: 4,424.
Compare reported admission years
These first-time undergraduate populations are separate reporting periods. Admission rate is admitted ÷ applicants; enrollment yield is enrolled ÷ admitted. Neither percentage is an individual admission probability.
| Fall year | Applicants | Admitted | Enrolled | Admission rate | Enrollment yield |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 39,995 | 28,238 | 4,424 | 70.6% | 15.7% |
| 2023 | 37,690 | 24,541 | 4,548 | 65.1% | 18.5% |
| 2022 | 35,362 | 26,101 | 4,906 | 73.8% | 18.8% |
| 2021 | 34,111 | 24,679 | 4,617 | 72.3% | 18.7% |
| 2020 | 33,656 | 22,209 | 4,174 | 66.0% | 18.8% |
| 2019 | 26,866 | 19,172 | 4,617 | 71.4% | 24.1% |
| 2018 | 27,691 | 18,383 | 4,705 | 66.4% | 25.6% |
Calculated as admitted ÷ applicants. This institution-wide historical figure is not a personal admission probability, international-student rate, transfer rate or program-specific rate. Open-admission institutions may not report this survey.
SAT evidence-based reading/writing 25th–75th percentile: 600–690. These describe enrolled students who submitted scores, not minimum entry requirements.
SAT math 25th–75th percentile: 590–680. These also describe enrolled score submitters and are not minimum entry requirements.

Historical average net price for in-state aid recipients
Population: full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates at public institutions with standard academic calendars, paying in-state or in-district tuition and receiving federal, state/local or institutional grant or scholarship aid. Other grant sources are excluded.
Average net price subtracts average qualifying grant aid from a population cost of attendance that includes tuition, required fees, books and weighted living expenses. It is a historical cohort average in USD, not tuition alone, a personal aid offer or a verified international-student cost. Negative source values are retained; they do not promise a payment to you.
| Academic year | Average net price | Recipients | Average qualifying grant aid | Source flags |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023-24 | $19,139 | 1,324 | $11,091 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2022-23 | $17,716 | 1,292 | $11,387 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
| 2021-22 | $18,044 | 1,346 | $10,196 | Net price: R · Recipients: R · Grant aid: R |
Flags include R (reported), C (analyst corrected), P (carry-forward imputed), Z (implied zero) and other documented source codes. A blank amount is unavailable.
Published first-year retention
Connected EF part-D observations concern prior-fall first-time degree/certificate-seeking cohorts assessed a year later. NCES describes persistence or completion; four-year institutions' cohorts are bachelor-seeking. Entry study status remains the grouping even if a student later changes between full- and part-time.
| Entry cohort → assessment | Full-time source rate | Adjusted full-time cohort | Part-time source rate | Adjusted part-time cohort |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fall 2023 → 2024 | 92% · R | 4,190 | 20% · R | 15 |
| Fall 2022 → 2023 | 90% · R | 4,620 | 33% · R | 9 |
| Fall 2021 → 2022 | 91% · R | 4,254 | 62% · R | 13 |

| Fall 2017 → 2018 | 90% · R | 4,285 | 29% · R | 21 |
Percentages are retained from the source rather than recalculated. R means reported; P means carried forward. Other source flags remain in the evidence. Missing rates remain unavailable and a published 0% remains zero. These are institution-level historical observations, not programme graduation rates, current service-quality rankings or individual predictions.

NCES-derived bachelor-cohort graduation percentages
Historical full-time, first-time bachelor's or equivalent entry subcohorts, with revised-cohort adjustments and permitted exclusions. These percentages describe a defined cohort rather than all students, annual awards or an individual's outcome.
| Entry cohort | Source observation file year | Within 4 years | Within 5 years | Within 6 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2024 | 74% | 81% | 83% |
| 2017 | 2023 | 72% | 79% | 81% |
| 2016 | 2022 | 73% | 81% | 82% |
| 2015 | 2021 | 73% | 82% | 84% |
NCES defines the selected 4-, 5- and 6-year measures for the same bachelor-seeking entry subcohort. The six-year measure is labelled 150% of normal time in the connected definitions. It does not establish the duration of your current programme.
Percentages are retained from the NCES derived file and are not recalculated here. The selected file supplies no per-cell reporting/imputation flags; the parent/child allocation status is outside this connection. Some derived campus values may use parent allocation factors. The linked dictionary's generic “Provisional/Final” heading does not distinguish a release stage for this snapshot.
