Academics
Six-year completion runs to 68% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 76% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 26:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. The undergraduate body is just 1,036, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,036 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $30,902 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($29,793 versus $30,216), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 64% get grants averaging $4,753, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 68% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $29,793 |
| $30–48k | $30,092 |
| $48–75k | $30,650 |
