Academics
Six-year completion runs to 70% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 261 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,557 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($17,970 versus $24,891), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 53% of students at an average of $6,578. Most students borrow — 64% 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 | $17,970 |
| $30–48k | $15,663 |
| $48–75k | $17,970 |
