Academics
54% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 62% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 24:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. This is a small school — 1,516 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,516 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,841 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,804 at $0–30k, $23,923 at $110k+. 74% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,028 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 68% 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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $17,804 |
| $30–48k | $17,751 |
| $48–75k | $20,051 |
