Tuition: published tuition and required fees for one year, 2023-24, before any aid. The In-state column is filled only where a resident pays a different price.
How this was counted
Enrolled is undergraduate enrollment; tuition is tuition and required fees; grad rate is the six-year graduation rate for all students (IPEDS DRVGR2023 · GBA6RTT). All three are what the school reports to the US Department of Education. Roster counts are read from the school’s own 2026-27 roster page.
A dash means we do not hold the figure. Athletic scholarships and need-based aid change what a family pays; the published price is the starting point, not the bill.
