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 of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The part-time picture is harder: 72% return, against 100% full-time. At 5:1, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 241 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,411 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($15,915 versus $23,310), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 65% of students at an average of $5,972. 59% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $15,915 |
| $30–48k | $19,612 |
| $48–75k | $15,965 |
| $75–110k | — |
| $110k+ | $23,310 |
