Academics
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. 63% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. At 20:1, 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. At 358 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 358 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,331 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($18,346 versus $22,209), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 57% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,828 — common but not automatic. 54% 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 | $18,346 |
| $30–48k | $18,551 |
