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 62% 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 763 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 763 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $26,463 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($26,239 versus $31,483), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 64% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,965 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 83% 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.

| $0–30k | $26,239 |
| $30–48k | $28,628 |
| $48–75k | $31,171 |
