Academics
Six-year completion sits at 51%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention is weak: only 52% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. The student-faculty ratio is 22:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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. This is a small school — 1,246 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,246 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $29,512 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($30,128 versus $33,637), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 60% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,820 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 50% 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.

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 | $30,128 |
| $30–48k | $30,389 |
| $48–75k | $31,121 |
