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. 94% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 35:1 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 684 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $52,279 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($52,816 versus $58,989), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 63% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,088 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 58% take federal loans.
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.
