93% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 77% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. At 452 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

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.
