On-campus criminal offenses reported under the Clery Act, 2022–2024, across 1 campus (1,048 students). Counts reflect reports, not convictions — schools with strong reporting cultures often show more, so a higher count doesn't simply mean a more dangerous campus.

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

of first-years get a grant from the school
$389
average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 12% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $389. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 385 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.
