Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 52, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 40 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $11,453 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($16,280 versus $19,550), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 53% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,418 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 53% of students.
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 | $16,280 |
| $30–48k | $6,607 |
| $48–75k | $19,550 |
| $75–110k | — |
| $110k+ | $19,550 |
