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. 27% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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. At 146 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 146 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,008 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($19,266 versus $23,703), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 69% get grants averaging $4,389, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 67% 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.

| $0–30k | $19,266 |
| $30–48k | $18,003 |
