Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 64% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. The undergraduate body is just 97, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 97 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $29,785 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $30,674 at $0–30k, $31,693 at $75–110k. 77% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,048 — common but not automatic. 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.

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.
