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. Retention is strong at 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 10:1 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 506 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $13,414 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($13,412 versus $14,387), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 57% get grants averaging $5,284, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 74% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $13,412 |
| $30–48k | $12,949 |
