Student:faculty
16:1

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. Retention is strong at 95%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 75% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 259 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $12,593 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,304 at $0–30k against $20,483 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 23% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 30% 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.

$30–48k $13,847
$48–75k $21,192
