Selectivity and financial signals give context to what applicants can expect. The reported admission rate is 97.9%, drawn from the most recent IPEDS Fall enrollment survey.

Outcomes reveal whether the investment pays back. Four-year completion rate data is unavailable, rising to 51.1% at six years. Graduates earn a median of $55,194 ten years after enrolling, compared with $44,043 six years post-enrollment. Within three years of entering repayment, 37300.0% of borrowers are making progress on their federal loans, and 70.1% 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.
