Six-year completion runs to 92% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention is strong at 83%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 7:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 110 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 110 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $20,525 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The income table below is the number that matters — $20,525 at $0–30k versus $28,798 at $110k+. Only 48% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. 45% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
