Admissions
Cass Career Center admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 5, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 80% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

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. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The 9:1 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 20, 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 20 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $14,300 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,738 at $0–30k against $22,993 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 95% receive grants worth $11,911 on average. Most students borrow — 80% 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.

| $0–30k | $16,738 |
| $30–48k | $18,586 |
