Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. First-year retention of 83% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 10:1, 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. At 155 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Grant aid is limited — 22% of students receive any. About 32% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
Federal student loans went to 50 of these 155 students, totalling $174,000 — an average of $3,480 each.
