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. 88% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The part-time picture is harder: 64% return, against 88% full-time. A 7:1 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 104 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,914 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $6,607 at $0–30k, $7,558 at $30–48k. About 63% get grants averaging $5,180, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 45% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
