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 weak: only 22% of full-time first-years return, so roughly four in five leave after one year. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 148 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $14,795 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,964 at $0–30k against $17,481 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 55% get grants averaging $4,517, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 48% 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 | $9,964 |
| $30–48k | $15,376 |
| $48–75k | $16,790 |
| $75–110k | $17,481 |
