Academics
A 83% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 81%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a private nonprofit two-year college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 313 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 313 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $1,545 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $1,545 at $0–30k, $1,545 at $75–110k. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $35,718 on average.
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 | $1,545 |
| $30–48k | $1,545 |
| $48–75k | $1,545 |
