Academics
A 85% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. This is a small school — 508 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 508 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $26,616 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $27,349 at $0–30k against $34,393 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 77% get grants averaging $4,829, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 78% take federal loans.
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 | $27,349 |
| $30–48k | $21,186 |
| $48–75k | $31,640 |
