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. 83% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 176 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $22,656 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $21,645 at $0–30k against $26,361 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 41% of students receive any. 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.

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 | $21,645 |
| $30–48k | $22,488 |
| $48–75k | $23,162 |
| $75–110k | $26,361 |
