Academics
Six-year completion runs to 83% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention of 64% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. This is a small school — 522 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 522 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,609 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $21,478 at $0–30k, $24,559 at $110k+. About 70% get grants averaging $5,754, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 63% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $21,478 |
| $30–48k | $22,019 |
| $48–75k | $21,881 |
| $75–110k | $25,347 |
| $110k+ | $24,559 |
