Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. First-year retention of 96% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 76% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 328 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,772 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Grant aid is widespread — 92% of students receive it, averaging $1,087.
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.
