Institution-level records in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) classify each school by Carnegie category, ownership sector, and urban/rural locale, which is how this profile’s peer group and cost cohort are determined.

Selectivity and financial signals give context to what applicants can expect. The reported admission rate is 100.0%, drawn from the most recent IPEDS Fall enrollment survey. Net price data is not yet reported, with published in-state tuition of $14,822 and a Pell grant recipient share of 35.8%. Median federal student debt at graduation is $20,000, drawn from the U.S. Treasury-matched College Scorecard file.

Outcomes reveal whether the investment pays back. Four-year completion rate data is unavailable, and the first-year retention rate is 0.0%. Graduates earn a median of $56,867 ten years after enrolling, compared with $58,703 six years post-enrollment. Within three years of entering repayment, 55800.0% of borrowers are making progress on their federal loans, and 76.0% of graduates earn above the high-school threshold. Treating these numbers as a single snapshot alongside the cost cohort is the standard approach for evaluating ROI under the College Scorecard methodology.
