Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention of 65% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 18% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 629 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,280 annually once grants are applied. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $24,977 while those at $110k+ pay $34,232. Grant aid is widespread — 87% of students receive it, averaging $7,641. 79% 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.
