Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 90% of applicants are accepted. The applicant pool is small at 241, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 58% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Completion is middling: 64% finish inside six years. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. At 744 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 744 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $16,648 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,328 at $0–30k against $21,533 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 74% get grants averaging $6,317, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 74% 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.

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 | $16,328 |
| $30–48k | $15,061 |
| $48–75k | $17,241 |
| $75–110k | $21,966 |
| $110k+ | $21,533 |
