Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 10% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. As a for-profit four-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. This is a small school — 141 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 141 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. 89% of students get grant aid averaging $6,132, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 79% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Federal student loans went to 111 of these 141 students, totalling $776,172 — an average of $6,993 each.
