Completion is middling: 64% finish inside six years. Retention of 72% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. The undergraduate body is just 1,645, 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 1,645 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,868 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The income table below is the number that matters — $20,490 at $0–30k versus $28,868 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 33% of students receive any. 35% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $20,490 |
| $30–48k | $21,958 |
| $48–75k | $23,455 |
