Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 95% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 21:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 355 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,007 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $21,989 at $0–30k against $22,372 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 54% of students at an average of $4,903.
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 | $21,989 |
| $30–48k | $21,589 |
