20:1

The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. First-year retention of 85% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 — 890 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 890 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $17,672 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,552 at $0–30k against $22,574 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 39% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 39% of students.

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.

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.

$30–48k $14,346
$48–75k $19,270
