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. Retention is strong at 93%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. The undergraduate body is just 262, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 262 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $15,271 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($14,467 versus $21,151), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 35% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 44% 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 | $14,467 |
| $30–48k | $15,329 |
| $48–75k | $15,328 |
| $75–110k | $19,291 |
| $110k+ | $21,151 |
