Academics
78% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 81% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a public community college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 1,454, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 573 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $12,770 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,368 at $0–30k against $15,871 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $4,426 on average.
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.
