Student:faculty

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Just 18% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The 8:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 82, 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 82 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $6,545 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $6,545 at $0–30k against $11,914 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 57% get grants averaging $9,792, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.

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.
