This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention of 91% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. As a private nonprofit short-program school, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 49, 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 49 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $14,965 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($16,645 versus $8,986), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 47% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Most students borrow — 67% 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 | $16,645 |
