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 of 70% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 253 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,892 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,623 at $0–30k against $9,735 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 89% receive grants worth $3,108 on average.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,623 |
| $30–48k | $10,244 |
| $48–75k | $10,165 |
| $75–110k | $9,735 |
