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. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 70 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $6,742. Most students borrow — 77% take federal loans to cover the gap.
Federal student loans went to 54 of these 70 students, totalling $591,899 — an average of $10,961 each.
