Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 7:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. The undergraduate body is just 57, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 57 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $20,508 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $22,510 at $0–30k, $23,253 at $30–48k. About 56% get grants averaging $5,194, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 58% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
