Student:faculty
11:1

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. 0% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 11:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 28 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Grant aid reaches 71% of students at an average of $5,771. 71% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

Federal student loans went to 20 of these 28 students, totalling $131,684 — an average of $6,584 each.
