Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 84% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 4,004 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $24,544 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,740 at $0–30k against $30,121 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 65% get grants averaging $7,772, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 49% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $24,740 |
| $30–48k | $25,729 |
| $48–75k | $26,650 |
| $75–110k | $28,905 |
| $110k+ | $30,121 |
