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 is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention drops to 87% for part-time students, a gap worth weighing if full-time study is not realistic. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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 115 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $13,677 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($12,615 versus $20,010), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 54% of students at an average of $5,273. Most students borrow — 60% 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 | $12,615 |
| $30–48k | $12,615 |
| $48–75k | $14,465 |
| $75–110k | $17,787 |
| $110k+ | $20,010 |
