89% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 82% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a private nonprofit two-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 498 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 450 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. Grant aid is limited — 46% of students receive any. 45% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
