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. Just 57% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. The undergraduate body is just 227, 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 227 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,825 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($15,377 versus $21,165), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 68% get grants averaging $5,192, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 57% 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 | $15,377 |
| $30–48k | $14,765 |
| $48–75k | $17,223 |
