Six-year completion sits at 63%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 32:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. At 1,315 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,315 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $24,224 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $23,987 at $0–30k, $29,120 at $110k+. 72% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,657 — common but not automatic. 62% 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.

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.
