Academics
Completion is the problem here: 19% graduate within six years. 25% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. A 32:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 388, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 388 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $14,930 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $15,499 at $0–30k, $14,083 at $75–110k. 50% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,934 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 54% 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.
