Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention is 78% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a public short-program institution, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 388 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 388 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $39,938 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($39,163 versus $43,378), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 43% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 39% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $39,163 |
| $30–48k | $45,049 |
| $48–75k | $41,521 |
