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. Retention of 63% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 638 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 638 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $28,987 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Net price varies modestly by income — $29,125 at $0–30k against $29,661 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 80% get grants averaging $5,748, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 90% 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 | $29,125 |
| $30–48k | $30,177 |
| $48–75k | $32,152 |
| $75–110k | $30,622 |
| $110k+ | $29,661 |
