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 is strong at 83%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 28:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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 — 459 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 459 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $3,900 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $3,718 at $0–30k, $4,309 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 95% of students receive it, averaging $8,514. Only 11% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $3,718 |
| $30–48k | $3,993 |
| $48–75k | $5,809 |
