The college enrolls approximately 1,696 students and offers liberal arts and sciences coursework designed to prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions or entry into the workforce.

In-state tuition is $5,400 annually, with out-of-state tuition at $10,800. The total cost of attendance matches tuition, as the figures provided do not include separate room and board charges, making this an accessible option for students commuting from the local region or living at home.

The college is well-suited for students seeking an affordable entry point to higher education, those needing flexible scheduling, or working adults returning to school. Before enrolling, prospective students should ask about transfer agreements with nearby four-year institutions, support services, and whether they can complete their intended program of study at the college or will need to transfer to finish a degree.
