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 60% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 611 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 356 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $2,678 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $2,918 at $0–30k against $4,405 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 96% receive grants worth $1,997 on average.

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.
