Academics
Six-year completion runs to 83% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 83% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. The undergraduate body is just 117, 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 117 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $14,581 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $11,311 at the $0–30k band to $20,948 at $110k+. About 73% get grants averaging $6,903, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 81% 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 | $11,311 |
| $30–48k | $17,080 |
| $48–75k | $19,764 |
