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. Retention of 62% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 221 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $27,092 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $26,015 at $0–30k against $32,217 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 63% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,052 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 29% of students.
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 | $26,015 |
| $30–48k | $30,884 |
| $48–75k | $28,495 |
| $75–110k | $30,377 |
| $110k+ | $32,217 |
