Academics
78% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention is 73% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 — 380 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 380 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,966 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($26,330 versus $23,957), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 73% of students at an average of $5,527. Borrowing is widespread: 72% 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.
