Avg. Financial Aid

As a comprehensive state university, we offer a broad range of academic programs leading to the associate, bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as support services to the business, government, and education communities. We also have students from throughout the US and from many countries, creating a diverse and stimulating learning environment. There are very few universities left that can offer quality academic programs in a very personal setting at a reasonable cost. Our average class size is about 23 students, and our students receive advisement and counseling directly from the faculty in their major areas. Furthermore, we offer a small town setting with a secure environment, free from many of the distractions of larger cities.
