Academics
Completion is middling: 55% finish inside six years. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 6:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 90 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,268 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,951 versus $25,173), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 81% of students at an average of $10,132. 74% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $23,951 |
| $30–48k | $21,016 |
| $48–75k | $19,648 |
