Academics
70% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 84% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. The student-faculty ratio is 22:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 500 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $23,581 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,212 at $0–30k against $29,400 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 31% of students receive any. Federal borrowing reaches 27% 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 | $23,212 |
| $30–48k | $28,757 |
| $48–75k | $27,935 |
| $75–110k | $29,400 |
| $110k+ | $29,400 |
