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 of 72% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Part-time students actually return at a higher rate, 86%, which is unusual and suggests the school is built for them. The 4:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,100 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $830 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. About 63% get grants averaging $2,770, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 9% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 103 students
Federal student loans went to 97 of these 1,100 students, totalling $515,494 — an average of $5,314 each.
