Ten-year median earnings of $40,283 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 41% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $20,000, neither a bargain nor a burden.

Student:faculty
26:1

41% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. A 26:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. Being a for-profit four-year institution 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. With 2,094 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,083 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $20,323 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $20,660 at $0–30k against $26,732 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 75% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,743 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 82% take federal loans.

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 $20,660
$30–48k $20,451
$48–75k $20,500
