Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit short-program school, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 25 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 25 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,041 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. 88% of students get grant aid averaging $6,675, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
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 | $2,805 |
| $30–48k | — |
| $48–75k | — |
