Academics
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 is strong at 87%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. 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. This is a small school — 380 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 380 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,913 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,857 versus $24,243), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 41% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 47% 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.

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 | $20,857 |
| $30–48k | $21,107 |
| $48–75k | $21,107 |
| $75–110k | $22,828 |
| $110k+ | $24,243 |
