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. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — 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. The undergraduate body is just 197, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 197 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $16,719 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($16,554 versus $22,019), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 65% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,438 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 82% 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 | $16,554 |
| $30–48k | $14,992 |
| $48–75k | $14,974 |
