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. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. This is a small school — 833 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 540 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,147 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $15,470 at $0–30k against $17,921 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 29% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 11% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $15,470 |
| $30–48k | $14,587 |
| $48–75k | $15,059 |
| $75–110k | $17,921 |
