Student:faculty
20:1

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 is 75% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The part-time picture is harder: 46% return, against 75% full-time. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit four-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 400 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $35,849 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $36,842 at $0–30k, $42,280 at $110k+. About 68% get grants averaging $6,210, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 90% 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.

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.
