Academics
A 73% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 76% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 14:1 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. This is a small school — 165 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 165 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $28,738 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Income makes less difference than usual: $28,864 at $0–30k, $26,223 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 59% of students at an average of $6,181. 61% 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 | $28,864 |
| $30–48k | $27,499 |
| $48–75k | $30,662 |
