Student:faculty
15:1

100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. This is a small school — 745 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 745 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. 66% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,319 — common but not automatic. 77% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

Federal student loans went to 572 of these 745 students, totalling $4,356,158 — an average of $7,616 each.
