The median ten-year earnings figure of $51,684 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. 100% graduate within six years, so most students who start here finish here. Debt is the pressure point: a median of $28,500 at graduation.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Student:faculty
7:1

Six-year completion runs to 100% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. At 7:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 301, 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 301 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. Grant aid is limited — 29% of students receive any. Borrowing is widespread: 91% take federal loans.

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.
