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. Retention of 75% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. 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. The undergraduate body is just 426, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 426 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $21,887 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($23,275 versus $28,401), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 20% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 26% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.
