A 100% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention is strong at 90%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 555 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 302 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $49,644 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $40,515 while those at $110k+ pay $54,947. 53% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,876 — common but not automatic. 32% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
