Student:faculty

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. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 120 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 120 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $20,945 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,144 versus $27,157), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 57% get grants averaging $6,368, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 58% 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.

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 $20,144
$30–48k $22,318
$48–75k $27,157
$75–110k $26,921
$110k+ $27,157
