Academics
A 71% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention of 70% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 19:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. The undergraduate body is just 1,519, 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 733 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $13,674 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,617 at $0–30k against $16,359 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 20% of students receive any.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $13,617 |
| $30–48k | $13,298 |
| $48–75k | $14,021 |
| $75–110k | $16,359 |
