Academics
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. First-year retention of 88% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 314 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $27,657 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $26,947 at $0–30k against $34,280 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 77% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,287 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 56% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $26,947 |
| $30–48k | $29,763 |
| $48–75k | $28,734 |

| $110k+ | $34,280 |
