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. 11% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 350, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 155 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $8,523 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $7,826 at $0–30k, $10,207 at $48–75k. 41% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants.

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.
