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. 87% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. This is a small school — 139 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 139 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,731 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $17,641 at $0–30k against $23,048 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 73% get grants averaging $5,331, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 69% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $17,641 |
| $30–48k | $15,361 |
| $48–75k | $20,342 |
| $75–110k | $23,048 |
