Student:faculty
10:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. This is a small school — 63 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 63 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $11,821 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,168 at $0–30k against $15,739 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 52% get grants averaging $5,431, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 43% of students.

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.
