Academics
57% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 62% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 26:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. At 1,752 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,667 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $29,223 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $27,452 at $0–30k, $32,597 at $110k+. 89% of students get grant aid averaging $4,206, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 77% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $27,452 |
| $30–48k | $28,252 |
| $48–75k | $28,298 |
| $75–110k | $30,768 |
| $110k+ | $32,597 |
