Academics
Completion is middling: 54% finish inside six years. First-year retention is 72% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. The 26:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 686 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $37,387 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $37,079 at $0–30k, $42,476 at $110k+. About 67% get grants averaging $4,461, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 70% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $37,079 |
| $30–48k | $36,819 |
| $48–75k | $38,172 |
