Academics
A 70% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 80%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 10:1, 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. At 93 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 93 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $8,925 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($8,368 versus $14,125), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 90% of students get grant aid averaging $9,158, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Most students borrow — 81% 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.
