Net price by family income

Student loan default rate
The share of student borrowers who default on federal loans within three years, against the national benchmark.
Of 6,996 borrowers who entered repayment, 134 (1.9%) defaulted within three years — below the 2.3% national rate.
Default rate vs national, by cohort
* Cohorts 2020 and later read near 0% because the federal COVID-19 payment pause (CARES Act) suspended defaults nationwide. These years reflect a national policy, not institutional performance; the 2019 cohort is the last measured under normal repayment.
