Academics
A 65% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Just 10% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. At 40:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. The undergraduate body is just 57, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 57 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $19,626 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($19,722 versus $23,513), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 67% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,972 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 67% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
