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. Retention is strong at 84%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 13:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 376 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 376 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $18,013 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $18,075 at $0–30k against $14,468 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 76% of students at an average of $3,750. 83% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
