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. First-year retention of 91% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 77% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 568 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $14,321 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $15,707 at $0–30k, $16,729 at $110k+. About 52% get grants averaging $3,368, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 50% of students.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $15,707 |
| $30–48k | $14,960 |
| $48–75k | $17,797 |
| $75–110k | $18,911 |
| $110k+ | $16,729 |
