Student:faculty
17:1

Six-year completion sits at 58%, meaning about two in five students who enroll leave without finishing. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 545 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 545 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay $29,029 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($28,550 versus $34,126), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 52% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,397 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 68% 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.

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 $28,550
$30–48k $30,005
$48–75k $30,468
