Academics
A 84% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 66% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The part-time picture is harder: 9% return, against 66% full-time. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 217 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $29,574 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $30,094 at $0–30k against $36,252 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 44% of students receive any. Most students borrow — 73% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $30,094 |
| $30–48k | $29,922 |
| $48–75k | $29,908 |
| $75–110k | $30,869 |
| $110k+ | $36,252 |
