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. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 77 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,298 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($17,775 versus $23,691), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 45% of students receive any. 48% 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.

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 | $17,775 |
| $30–48k | $16,296 |
| $48–75k | — |
