Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 — 575 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 575 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $13,930 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,161 at $0–30k against $12,816 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 79% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,624 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 77% 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.
