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. 46% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 96 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 96 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $26,726 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $26,726 at $0–30k, $27,984 at $30–48k. 73% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,164 — common but not automatic. 53% 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.
