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. 60% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. At 21:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 89, 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 89 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $14,542 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $14,508 at $0–30k against $16,371 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,457 — common but not automatic. 64% 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.

| $0–30k | $14,508 |
| $30–48k | $13,696 |
