Student:faculty
7:1

A 100% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. The 7:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit four-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 107 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
