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 is weak: only 19% of full-time first-years return, so roughly four in five leave after one year. 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. At 122 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 122 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $28,591 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $28,147 at $0–30k, $34,556 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 91% of students receive it, averaging $7,650. Most students borrow — 88% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
