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. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 81 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $20,810 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $20,810 at $0–30k, $20,811 at $48–75k. Only 10% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. 12% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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 | $20,810 |
| $30–48k | $20,810 |
| $48–75k | $20,811 |
