Student:faculty
14:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 459, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 459 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price averages $34,939 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($34,566 versus $38,101), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 80% get grants averaging $4,352, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 100% 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 $34,566
$30–48k $35,238
$48–75k $36,254
