Source: College Scorecard ↗, released October 15, 2026, and IPEDS ↗. Net price is the average for first-year students who received aid, in the latest year each college reported; admit rate is for students entering in fall 2024; graduation is for 2019 entrants; undergraduates are for fall 2024. A dash means the college didn't report the figure.
