Academics
65% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 72% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. 4,689 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,358 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,354 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,214 at $0–30k against $13,236 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 20% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price.
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 | $10,214 |
| $30–48k | $8,461 |
| $48–75k | $12,018 |
