Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 19% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 81% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. A 24:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. The undergraduate body is just 142, 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 142 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $12,517 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,935 at $0–30k against $17,222 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 6% of students receive any. Only 6% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $13,935 |
| $30–48k | $13,831 |
| $48–75k | $12,607 |
