Academics
A 83% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 93%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 6:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 49 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Average net price is $12,740 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $12,632 at $0–30k, $15,643 at $75–110k. 82% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,820 — common but not automatic. 73% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $12,632 |
| $30–48k | $13,008 |
| $48–75k | — |
