Admissions

About 25,485 students applied and 3,334 were admitted. Of those admitted, 1,599 enrolled.

Cost

Tuition and required fees are about $65,081 for full-time first-year students, the same for in-state and out-of-state students, which is typical of private institutions. Room and board are extra.

Outcomes

Of the 1,596 first-time, full-time students in the 150% cohort, 94% completed their programme within 150% of normal time. That cohort definition matters: part-time students and transfers are not included, so a college that serves many of them can have a low reported rate while still graduating most of its students.
