Academics
68% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention of 77% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. 2,609 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,609 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $25,026 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,404 versus $28,905), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 75% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,776 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 55% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $23,404 |
| $30–48k | $24,776 |
| $48–75k | $26,242 |
