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. At 14:1, 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. This is a small school — 1,718 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 1,718 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $4,336 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. About 59% get grants averaging $7,292, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 23% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.

Federal student loans went to 395 of these 1,718 students, totalling $2,630,303 — an average of $6,659 each.
