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 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 11:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Being a for-profit short-program school 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. The undergraduate body is just 194, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 194 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $29,366 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($29,759 versus $33,678), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 76% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,931 — 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 | $29,759 |
