Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. Just 50% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit four-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 216 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $34,239 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The income table below is the number that matters — $34,239 at $0–30k versus $42,634 at $48–75k. Grant aid reaches 50% of students at an average of $5,380. 81% 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.
