91% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Being a for-profit four-year institution 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 214, 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 214 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $57,632 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($57,058 versus $59,300), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 84% of students at an average of $4,627. Borrowing is widespread: 93% take federal loans.
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 | $57,058 |
| $30–48k | $57,544 |
