Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention of 90% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Being a for-profit short-program school 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 101 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,323 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($9,424 versus $10,385), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 93% of students get grant aid averaging $4,721, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
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 | $9,424 |
| $30–48k | $8,936 |
