Academics
84% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 98% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid

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.
