Academics
68% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 73% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. This is a small school — 582 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 582 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,491 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $26,641 at $0–30k, $31,319 at $110k+. 51% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,976 — common but not automatic. About 47% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $26,641 |
| $30–48k | $26,799 |
| $48–75k | $29,508 |
