Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention of 82% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 23:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. 2,050 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid

Net price averages $32,641 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Net price varies modestly by income — $31,985 at $0–30k against $38,599 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 66% of students at an average of $6,706. 75% 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 | $31,985 |
| $30–48k | $34,708 |
| $48–75k | $34,878 |
| $75–110k | $37,162 |
| $110k+ | $38,599 |
