Academics
66% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 21:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. This is a small school — 639 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 639 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,222 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($17,370 versus $24,951), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 66% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,131 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 59% take federal loans.
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 | $17,370 |
| $30–48k | $17,987 |
| $48–75k | $19,223 |
