Academics
Six-year completion runs to 69% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 79% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in five are gone before sophomore year. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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. The undergraduate body is just 797, 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 797 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $30,804 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $31,507 at $0–30k against $33,831 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 39% of students receive any. About 50% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $31,507 |
| $30–48k | $31,940 |
| $48–75k | $31,889 |
| $75–110k | $28,686 |
| $110k+ | $33,831 |
