Academics
A 72% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 — 72 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 72 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,859 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $17,449 at $0–30k against $21,762 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 74% of students at an average of $7,432. Most students borrow — 60% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
