Student:faculty
5:1

A 73% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. First-year retention is 68% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 5:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a public community college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 190, 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 190 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $804 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $959 at $0–30k, $2,116 at $48–75k. About 73% get grants averaging $6,584, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.

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.

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.
