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. First-year retention of 89% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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 401 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 401 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,533 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($21,127 versus $28,184), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 40% of students receive any. 54% 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 | $21,127 |
| $30–48k | $21,558 |
| $48–75k | $26,950 |
| $75–110k | $27,192 |
| $110k+ | $28,184 |
