Academics
Six-year completion sits at 53%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. 62% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. This is a small school — 953 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 953 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $27,260 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $27,175 at $0–30k against $32,055 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 81% of students at an average of $4,277. Borrowing is widespread: 60% take federal loans.
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.

| $0–30k | $27,175 |
| $30–48k | $27,503 |
| $48–75k | $28,031 |
