Student:faculty
17:1

No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The student-faculty ratio is 17:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 42 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $13,068 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($12,623 versus $18,170), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 55% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,587 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 62% take federal loans to cover the gap.

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 $12,623
$30–48k $10,467
$48–75k $14,575

$110k+ $18,170
