Arnot Ogden Medical Center accepts 67% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. The applicant pool is small at 9, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 83% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.

Student:faculty
4:1

A 100% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 4:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 29, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 29 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $23,370 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $23,283 at $0–30k, $20,068 at $48–75k. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $4,721 on average. Borrowing is widespread: 86% 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.

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.
