100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 204 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
