Academics
Six-year completion sits at 64%, meaning about one in three students who enroll leave without finishing. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The 30:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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. At 157 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 92 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. 97% of students get grant aid averaging $4,742, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 97% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Federal student loans went to 89 of these 92 students, totalling $625,000 — an average of $7,022 each.
