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. 77% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. This is a small school — 95 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 95 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,000 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,913 at $0–30k against $20,709 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 65% get grants averaging $5,634, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 56% 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.
