Academics
72% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is strong at 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 113 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,362 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. About 66% get grants averaging $4,428, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 64% 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.
