Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 108, 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 108 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,422 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,846 at $0–30k, $23,398 at $110k+. 69% of students receive grant aid, averaging $7,198 — common but not automatic. 69% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $19,846 |
| $30–48k | $21,111 |
| $48–75k | $21,560 |
| $75–110k | $21,847 |
| $110k+ | $23,398 |
