Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 86% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 8:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit short-program school 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. This is a small school — 103 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 100 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,899 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($23,096 versus $29,057), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 56% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,888 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 64% 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.
