Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Just 48% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. A 28:1 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 551 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $20,896 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($20,901 versus $21,639), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 87% of students receive it, averaging $6,036. 75% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
