Student:faculty

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. Retention is weak: only 52% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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. This is a small school — 439 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 439 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $22,585 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,288 at $0–30k against $24,817 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 35% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 41% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.
