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. 86% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. This is a small school — 173 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 173 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,146 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The income table below is the number that matters — $20,265 at $0–30k versus $28,681 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 98% of students receive it, averaging $6,722. 97% 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.
