Academics
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. First-year retention of 89% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 — 355 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 355 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $14,662 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,689 at $0–30k, $24,413 at $110k+. 40% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 49% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $17,689 |
| $30–48k | $18,514 |
| $48–75k | $20,807 |
| $75–110k | $23,902 |
| $110k+ | $24,413 |
