Academics
67% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention is 72% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 body is just 294, 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 294 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $14,277 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,446 at $0–30k against $15,884 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 95% receive grants worth $6,215 on average. Borrowing is widespread: 85% 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.
