Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 5:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 960 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Grant aid is limited — 3% 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.
