Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit short-program school, 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. At 288 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 288 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $24,266 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $24,379 at $0–30k, $32,350 at $110k+. 71% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,810 — common but not automatic. 70% 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 | $24,379 |
| $30–48k | $27,366 |
| $48–75k | $27,521 |
| $75–110k | $27,399 |
| $110k+ | $32,350 |
