Academics
80% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 76% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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. This is a small school — 111 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 111 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $12,546 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,765 at $0–30k against $12,677 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 72% of students at an average of $5,876.
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.
