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 81%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 336 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $21,307 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $20,713 at $0–30k, $26,521 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 81% of students at an average of $5,345. Borrowing is widespread: 61% take federal loans.
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.
