Academics
Completion is the problem here: 31% graduate within six years. Retention of 63% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. At 11:1, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 461 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $32,429 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $32,761 at $0–30k against $35,555 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 73% get grants averaging $4,623, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 89% 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.

| $0–30k | $32,761 |
