Academics
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 80% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 21:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. The undergraduate body is just 211, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 211 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,354 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $21,911 at $0–30k against $22,784 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 49% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 32% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
