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. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 146 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $36,694 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $36,246 at $0–30k, $39,983 at $75–110k. About 56% get grants averaging $3,559, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. About 35% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $36,246 |
| $30–48k | $39,858 |
| $48–75k | $39,983 |
| $75–110k | $39,983 |
| $110k+ | — |
