Academics
Six-year completion runs to 77% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. This is a small school — 137 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 137 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,417 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $14,184 at $0–30k, $17,619 at $75–110k. Grant aid is widespread — 93% of students receive it, averaging $11,186. Most students borrow — 85% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
