Why it is good

Nothing stands out as clearly better than similar colleges.

Why it is bad

  • Only 24% of students graduate. 95% of four-year colleges do better.
  • It falls short of expectations: it graduates 22 points fewer students than is typical for a college enrolling the same share of low-income students (24% against an expected 47%; the estimate is rough, with a typical error of about 16 points).
  • Many students leave early: only 38% of first-year students return for a second year.
  • Low pay: typical earnings ten years after starting are $50,437, lower than 73% of four-year colleges.
  • Debt is heavy for the pay: graduates owe a typical $21,700 in federal loans against earnings of $50,437.
  • Expensive: the average student pays about $30,412 a year after grants, more than at 84% of four-year colleges.

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.
