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. First-year retention is 71% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 43:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. At 254 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 254 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $9,707 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($9,665 versus $9,393), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 83% get grants averaging $5,831, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
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 | $9,665 |
| $30–48k | $10,347 |
| $48–75k | $9,393 |
