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. Retention is weak: only 58% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. This is a small school — 72 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 72 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,160 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,332 at $0–30k against $22,604 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 56% of students at an average of $5,743. Most students borrow — 58% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $16,332 |
| $30–48k | $16,434 |
| $48–75k | $13,491 |
