Median earnings ten years after entry come to $29,699, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. 57% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $22,146, neither a bargain nor a burden.

57% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Just 16% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. A 30:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 1,160 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,157 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price averages $29,688 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($30,180 versus $34,767), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 78% get grants averaging $4,089, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. About 43% 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.

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.
