For-profit College in Sandusky, OH. Six-year graduation rate 75%. Median 10-year earnings $30,389.

Academics
A 75% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. First-year retention is 67% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. The undergraduate body is just 24, 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 24 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $30,486 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($30,545 versus $29,953), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $5,385 on average. 100% 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.
