Academics
Six-year completion runs to 70% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention of 77% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 28:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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 1,559 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,557 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $25,382 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $25,676 at $0–30k against $26,707 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 41% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. 35% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $25,676 |
| $30–48k | $25,932 |
| $48–75k | $28,085 |
