Academics
A 74% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 88%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 107 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $11,149 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 — $10,744 at $0–30k against $15,808 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 43% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. About 41% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $10,744 |
| $30–48k | $9,645 |
| $48–75k | $12,517 |
