A 100% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 27:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 812, 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 810 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $23,980 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $22,738 at $0–30k against $29,923 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 66% of students at an average of $4,148. Borrowing is widespread: 61% 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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 12 students
Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $22,738 |
| $30–48k | $22,128 |
| $48–75k | $23,828 |
| $75–110k | $26,078 |
| $110k+ | $29,923 |
