Academics
76% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 64% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. At 200 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 112 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,313 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($22,612 versus $23,176), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 52% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,643 — common but not automatic. 65% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $22,612 |
| $30–48k | $22,116 |
| $48–75k | $22,920 |
| $75–110k | $22,638 |
| $110k+ | $23,176 |
