The median ten-year earnings figure of $53,341 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. Completion is a strength: 83% of students finish within six years. Graduates leave owing a median of $31,301 — a substantial load to service on these earnings.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Student:faculty
17:1

Six-year completion runs to 83% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 297, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 297 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $24,139 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,874 versus $28,556), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 35% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 28% 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.

$0–30k $23,874
$30–48k $28,278
$48–75k $26,221
