Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

65% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 80% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. At 23:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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 370 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,635 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,419 at $0–30k against $20,032 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 89% of students receive it, averaging $5,242. Borrowing is widespread: 83% take federal loans.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 304 students
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 | $23,419 |
| $30–48k | $23,728 |
| $48–75k | $24,849 |
