Academics
62% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention of 87% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Net price lands at $23,597 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $20,442 while those at $110k+ pay $29,849. Grant aid reaches 67% of students at an average of $9,122. Most students borrow — 73% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $20,442 |
| $30–48k | $19,932 |
| $48–75k | $28,925 |
