Academics
Six-year completion runs to 91% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention is strong at 86%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 7:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. This is a small school — 28 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 28 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,879 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($5,879 versus $3,299), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $5,674.
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.
