Academics
Six-year completion runs to 75% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 85% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 50:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. The undergraduate population is 2,293 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,293 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $25,295 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($24,887 versus $30,857), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 70% of students at an average of $4,977. Borrowing is widespread: 61% take federal loans.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $24,887 |
| $30–48k | $24,611 |
| $48–75k | $25,878 |
| $75–110k | $30,104 |
| $110k+ | $30,857 |
