Completion is middling: 44% finish inside six years. Just 52% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The 7:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. At 460 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 460 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $28,544 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($27,714 versus $35,305), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 82% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,455 — common but not automatic. 81% 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.

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.
