The numbers tell a mixed story here — the 65% graduation rate and 77% freshman retention suggest a meaningful chunk of students don't make it to the finish line, which is worth taking seriously before committing. That said, if you're drawn to engineering, aeronautics, or ocean sciences in a smaller, hands-on environment, the $61,200 median earnings paired with relatively low debt ($14,049 at graduation) suggests students who do complete the degree land in a reasonable financial position. Worth considering if STEM is your clear direction, but ask hard questions about student support and why so many leave early.
