Student:faculty
25:1

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. 88% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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 — 41 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 41 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $16,391 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,140 at $0–30k, $20,918 at $48–75k. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $4,773, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 98% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

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.

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.
