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. First-year retention is 64% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Unusually, part-time retention (75%) beats full-time, pointing to a student body that is part-time by design. A 31:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 620 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,126 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($21,953 versus $22,890), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 52% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,436 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 48% of students.
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.
