Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention is 74% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 189 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 189 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,842 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,142 at $0–30k against $18,934 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 88% of students receive it, averaging $7,604. Federal borrowing reaches 35% of students.
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 | $19,142 |
| $30–48k | $21,195 |
| $48–75k | $23,629 |
