Academics
76% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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 108 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $10,361 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. 26% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 6% of students.
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.
