69% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 96%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 692 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $35,653 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $36,063 at $0–30k against $41,001 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 67% get grants averaging $5,770, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 65% 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.

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 | $36,063 |
| $30–48k | $38,536 |
