Student:faculty
14:1

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. Just 36% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 364 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 364 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay $47,139 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $44,245 at $0–30k against $47,613 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 59% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,669 — common but not automatic. 82% 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.

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.

Family income band Average net price
$0–30k $44,245
$30–48k $45,497
$48–75k $45,763
