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. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. The undergraduate body is just 70, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 70 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $21,275 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $20,738 at $0–30k against $20,738 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 69% get grants averaging $6,270, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.

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 $20,738
$30–48k $22,388
$48–75k $23,888
