Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 55% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Part-time students actually return at a higher rate, 68%, which is unusual and suggests the school is built for them. At 5:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 304 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $6,472 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,192 at $0–30k against $11,358 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 25% of students receive any. Only 20% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,192 |
| $30–48k | $12,105 |
| $48–75k | $5,428 |
| $75–110k | $14,413 |
| $110k+ | $11,358 |
