Academics
A 86% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 40% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 15:1 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. This is a small school — 79 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 79 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $12,851 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 — $11,687 at $0–30k against $11,331 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 95% of students get grant aid averaging $7,395, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 67% 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.
