Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Retention is weak: only 15% of full-time first-years return, so roughly four in five leave after one year. Part-time students actually return at a higher rate, 50%, which is unusual and suggests the school is built for them. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 475 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Grant aid is limited — 22% of students receive any. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 4% 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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 69 students
Federal student loans went to 18 of these 475 students, totalling $85,649 — an average of $4,758 each.
