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. First-year retention is 63% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 160 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,107 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,303 at $0–30k against $19,869 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 84% of students at an average of $5,315. Borrowing is widespread: 83% take federal loans.
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 | $14,303 |
| $30–48k | $14,402 |
| $48–75k | $16,846 |
| $75–110k | $19,304 |
| $110k+ | $19,869 |
