Academics
A 71% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 64% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. The undergraduate body is just 211, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 211 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $25,556 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $25,350 at $0–30k against $31,425 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 31% of students receive any. Only 22% 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.
