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. Retention of 75% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. This is a small school — 136 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 136 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $9,578 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $9,129 at $0–30k, $14,986 at $110k+. About 57% get grants averaging $6,268, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. About 49% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $9,129 |
| $30–48k | $7,366 |
| $48–75k | $12,505 |
| $75–110k | $16,106 |
| $110k+ | $14,986 |
