Academics
62% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 70% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 11:1 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. The undergraduate body is just 740, 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 740 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. Only 47% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. 72% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
