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. Just 33% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Unusually, part-time retention (43%) beats full-time, pointing to a student body that is part-time by design. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 72 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $11,878 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,018 at $0–30k against $12,671 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $5,742. Borrowing is widespread: 78% 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.
