Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. Only 9 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. Yield is high — 78% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Six-year completion runs to 100% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 328 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 328 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $31,591 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The income table below is the number that matters — $28,131 at $0–30k versus $38,999 at $75–110k. 63% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,325 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 79% 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 | $28,131 |
| $30–48k | $27,604 |
