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. 84% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 107 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 107 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $13,414 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,154 at $0–30k against $18,517 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 61% get grants averaging $4,611, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 71% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $13,154 |
| $30–48k | $18,068 |
| $48–75k | $18,517 |
| $75–110k | $17,309 |
| $110k+ | $18,517 |
