Student:faculty
25:1

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. First-year retention is 69% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. This is a small school — 521 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 521 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $19,775 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $20,009 at $0–30k against $22,636 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 55% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,069 — common but not automatic. About 50% 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.
