Student:faculty
15:1

Six-year completion runs to 96% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. First-year retention of 94% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. At 493 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24

Average net price is $12,855 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($11,184 versus $11,268), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $5,094, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 79% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

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 $11,184
$30–48k $11,268
