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. Retention is strong at 88%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 24:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 122 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 122 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $20,998 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($20,929 versus $27,257), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 92% receive grants worth $6,342 on average. Borrowing is widespread: 84% take federal loans.
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.
