Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. Only 207 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 68% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
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.

Six-year completion runs to 76% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention is strong at 95%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 752 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $25,464 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $24,666 at $0–30k, $29,869 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 79% of students at an average of $4,931. Most students borrow — 75% 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 | $24,666 |
| $30–48k | $24,567 |
| $48–75k | $26,031 |
| $75–110k | $28,668 |
| $110k+ | $29,869 |
