Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable mid-size public university — at an average net price of just $16,456/year and median debt of $15,750, graduates leave in relatively good financial shape. The 67% graduation rate is a real concern, though, meaning roughly 1 in 3 students who start here don't finish, so it's worth asking what support systems are in place for you specifically. Median earnings of $54,200 a decade out are decent but not exceptional, making this a solid fit for cost-conscious students with a clear plan rather than those still figuring things out.
