Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 71, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
