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. First-year retention of 92% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit short-program school 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. This is a small school — 464 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 464 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $19,183 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,696 at $0–30k, $20,414 at $48–75k. Only 39% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 48% of students.
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.
