Academics
Six-year completion sits at 55%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 72% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. A 46:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 588 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $42,846 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $41,434 at $0–30k, $39,695 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 65% of students at an average of $4,243. Most students borrow — 75% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $41,434 |
| $30–48k | $42,013 |
| $48–75k | $43,358 |
