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. 89% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. This is a small school — 297 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 297 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,871 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,135 at $0–30k, $24,833 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 64% of students at an average of $5,399. Borrowing is widespread: 68% take federal loans.
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 | $19,135 |
| $30–48k | $22,368 |
| $48–75k | $21,856 |
| $75–110k | $23,257 |
| $110k+ | $24,833 |
