Student:faculty
7:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. At 7:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. At 72 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 72 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $37,231 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $21,758 at $0–30k, $22,231 at $75–110k. Grant aid is limited — 40% of students receive any. About 32% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.
