Academics
Completion is middling: 63% finish inside six years. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. This is a small school — 339 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 339 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,913 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,358 at $0–30k against $27,132 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 36% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 23% 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 | $23,358 |
| $30–48k | $29,659 |
| $48–75k | $30,147 |
