Academics

Full-time retention
82%
Transfer-out rate
Student:faculty
14:1

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 82% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. At 505 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 505 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $15,335 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,308 at $0–30k, $21,390 at $48–75k. Grant aid reaches 76% of students at an average of $5,140. Borrowing is widespread: 91% 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.
