Academics
90% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 90% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a private nonprofit two-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 162 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 162 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $27,251 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $27,251 at $0–30k against $35,199 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 67% of students receive grant aid, averaging $12,809 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 33% of students.
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.
