Why it is good
Nothing stands out as clearly better than similar colleges.
Why it is bad
- Only 28% of students graduate. 94% of four-year colleges do better.
- It falls short of expectations: it graduates 44 points fewer students than is typical for a college enrolling the same share of low-income students (28% against an expected 71%; the estimate is rough, with a typical error of about 16 points).
- Low pay: typical earnings ten years after starting are $44,955, lower than 85% of four-year colleges.
- Earnings trail expectations by about $29,299 a year for a college with its student mix (the estimate is rough, with a typical error of about $15,000).
- Debt is heavy for the pay: graduates owe a typical $22,621 in federal loans against earnings of $44,955.
The numbers
What these figures measure
Graduation rate: share of all students, full-time or part-time, who finish within 8 years. Return for year 2: share of first-time, full-time students who come back for a second year. Earnings: median pay about 10 years after starting, for students who received federal aid. Debt: median federal loan debt among those who finish. Net price: average yearly cost after grants and scholarships. All from the U.S. Education Department College Scorecard, institution file dated November 2, 2026.
