Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Just 38% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Part-time retention runs ahead at 71% — a sign this campus supports non-traditional schedules well. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
