Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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 452 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 452 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,444 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $20,638 at $0–30k against $26,027 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 83% get grants averaging $6,375, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 87% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $20,638 |
| $30–48k | $20,707 |
| $48–75k | $23,714 |
| $75–110k | $24,504 |
| $110k+ | $26,027 |
