Academics
63% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. This is a small school — 1,201 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 1,201 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $27,616 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($26,742 versus $31,138), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 84% of students at an average of $4,160. Most students borrow — 79% 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.

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 | $26,742 |
| $30–48k | $26,997 |
| $48–75k | $27,496 |
