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. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 115 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 105 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $13,419 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,122 at $0–30k against $15,522 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 39% of students receive any. 36% 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.

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 | $13,122 |
| $30–48k | $12,092 |
| $48–75k | $13,056 |
| $75–110k | $17,337 |
| $110k+ | $15,522 |
