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 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 22:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 522 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 522 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,306 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($16,469 versus $15,510), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 79% get grants averaging $5,532, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 83% take federal loans.
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 | $16,469 |
| $30–48k | $18,313 |
| $48–75k | $19,837 |
