About these student measures
The entering-student group includes part-time entrants as well as other attendance patterns.

Undergraduate enrollment is 4,087, a composition that includes both students using federal grant aid and people continuing studies begun at another institution. These figures describe the routes students take to attend, rather than admission priorities or an individual applicant’s prospects.
