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 91% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 136 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $26,027 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($26,407 versus $31,015), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 47% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 46% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $26,407 |
| $30–48k | $27,159 |
| $48–75k | $26,810 |
| $75–110k | $29,536 |
| $110k+ | $31,015 |
