Student:faculty
15:1

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. First-year retention of 100% 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. At 122 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 122 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $16,906 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $16,786 at $0–30k, $14,563 at $48–75k. Only 34% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 30% of students.

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.

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.
