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. Retention of 66% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. The undergraduate population is 3,822 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,822 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,958 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($17,569 versus $21,326), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 86% receive grants worth $5,935 on average. Most students borrow — 90% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $17,569 |
| $30–48k | $17,644 |
| $48–75k | $19,336 |
