Ten-year median earnings of $35,504 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 56% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Borrowing stays contained, with median debt at graduation of $14,176.

Completion is middling: 56% finish inside six years. Just 25% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. 2,277 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,277 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay $33,641 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $33,621 at $0–30k against $40,816 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 65% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,206 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 67% 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.
