Academics
Six-year completion runs to 85% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. First-year retention of 98% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 9:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a for-profit short-program school, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 74 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,705 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,412 at $0–30k, $22,833 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 43% of students receive any. 35% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.

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.

| $0–30k | $19,412 |
| $30–48k | $15,849 |
