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 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. This is a small school — 42 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 42 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,742 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. 79% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,494 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 67% take federal loans.
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.
