Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Retention is weak: only 43% of full-time first-years return, so roughly three in five leave after one year. At 30:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 210, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 210 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $22,864 annually once grants are applied. The income table below is the number that matters — $20,855 at $0–30k versus $29,963 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 80% of students at an average of $9,459. Most students borrow — 78% take federal loans to cover the gap.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
