Academics
Six-year completion runs to 85% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 78% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in five are gone before sophomore year. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. The undergraduate body is just 1,680, 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 1,680 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,045 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($22,715 versus $29,988), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 72% of students receive grant aid, averaging $8,113 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 69% take federal loans.
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 | $22,715 |
| $30–48k | $24,826 |
| $48–75k | $24,267 |
