Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention is 77% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 13:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 901, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 901 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. 40% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 19% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
