- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 96% of applicants are accepted. The applicant pool is small at 279, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 51% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.
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 sits at 56%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 74% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. At 24:1, 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 534 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $26,491 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $25,732 at $0–30k against $30,461 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 73% get grants averaging $5,414, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 67% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $25,732 |
| $30–48k | $25,293 |
| $48–75k | $25,925 |
| $75–110k | $29,790 |
| $110k+ | $30,461 |
