Academics
Completion is middling: 60% finish inside six years. Retention of 62% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. This is a small school — 373 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 373 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $26,038 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $25,927 at $0–30k, $33,342 at $110k+. About 65% get grants averaging $5,796, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 75% 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.

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.

| $0–30k | $25,927 |
| $30–48k | $26,262 |
| $48–75k | $28,197 |
