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. 83% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 234, 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 234 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,274 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($10,798 versus $13,515), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 36% of students receive any. About 41% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,798 |
| $30–48k | $10,162 |
| $48–75k | $10,592 |
