Note about our data: Our school data, such as graduation rate, tuition, and financial aid rate, was gathered using the most recent information available from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), a resource maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics. This data reflects the 2013-2014 school year. All of the data for IPEDS is reported by individual institutions during survey years.
