Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 80%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 18:1, 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. At 407 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 407 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,898 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,484 versus $23,601), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 35% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 41% 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 | $20,484 |
| $30–48k | $19,953 |
| $48–75k | $20,888 |
| $75–110k | $23,601 |
| $110k+ | $23,601 |
