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. Retention of 71% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 188, 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 188 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,426 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $14,150 at the $0–30k band to $23,561 at $75–110k. Grant aid reaches 80% of students at an average of $8,306. 38% 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.
