Admissions
78% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. Only 41 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 100% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Completion is middling: 53% finish inside six years. Retention is weak: only 55% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. At 21:1, 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. At 594 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 594 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $23,065 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $22,688 at $0–30k, $29,495 at $75–110k. 92% of students get grant aid averaging $4,505, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Most students borrow — 90% 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 | $22,688 |
| $30–48k | $25,374 |
