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. Retention is strong at 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The student-faculty ratio is 16:1 — 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 287 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $13,843 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($10,997 versus $18,923), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 54% of students at an average of $5,491. 48% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $10,997 |
| $30–48k | $13,808 |
| $48–75k | $16,420 |
| $75–110k | $18,213 |
| $110k+ | $18,923 |
