For-profit College in Bridgeport, WV. Six-year graduation rate 52%. Median 10-year earnings $27,472.

- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
52% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 68% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 175 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $10,572 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $9,808 at the $0–30k band to $23,836 at $110k+. 99% of students get grant aid averaging $10,203, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 77% 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 | $9,808 |
| $30–48k | $15,082 |
| $48–75k | $19,841 |
