Pell equity
Pell and non-Pell students graduate at nearly identical rates — a notably small equity gap.
Tuition & cost

Net price by family income
Negative values mean aid exceeds the published cost of attendance for that income band.

Of 3,199 borrowers who entered repayment, 74 (2.3%) defaulted within three years.
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.
