Academics
79% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 83% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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. This is a small school — 269 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 269 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,235 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,735 at $0–30k against $20,552 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 92% receive grants worth $3,584 on average. Most students borrow — 68% 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
