Admissions
75% of applicants get in, so the odds favor most reasonably prepared students. Only 101 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 59% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

A 83% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 80%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 17% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 123 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $38,751 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Net price varies modestly by income — $38,399 at $0–30k against $39,315 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 24% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Only 22% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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.
