Academics

Full-time retention

Student:faculty
10:1

50% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. First-year retention is 67% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 745 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $36,087 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $31,489 at the $0–30k band to $43,994 at $110k+. About 57% get grants averaging $5,176, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 78% 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.

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.
