Student:faculty
20:1

The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 88 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 88 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $16,000 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The income table below is the number that matters — $15,986 at $0–30k versus $30,198 at $110k+. 60% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,519 — common but not automatic. About 30% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.

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.

$30–48k $15,983
$48–75k $16,103
