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. 33% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 45 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24

At $7,034 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $4,824 at the $0–30k band to $13,557 at $75–110k. Grant aid reaches 63% of students at an average of $7,949. 22% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.

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.
