Student:faculty
5:1

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. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 5:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 74, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 74 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price averages $60,682 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. 22% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 51% 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.
