Student:faculty
12:1

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. Retention is strong at 89%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 93 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price averages $34,458 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Income makes less difference than usual: $31,245 at $0–30k, $38,337 at $75–110k. Grant aid reaches 82% of students at an average of $4,408. Most students borrow — 91% 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.
