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. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 24:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. The undergraduate body is just 82, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
At $14,465 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,465 at $0–30k against $16,249 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 76% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,505 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 51% of 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 | $14,465 |
| $30–48k | $12,724 |
| $48–75k | — |
