Academics
65% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 77% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 31:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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 1,749, 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 1,749 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $27,938 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($26,542 versus $32,825), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 74% get grants averaging $4,602, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 63% 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 | $26,542 |
| $30–48k | $26,927 |
| $48–75k | $28,965 |
