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. First-year retention is 77% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 47% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. A 20:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 93 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,100 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($5,100 versus $5,922), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $8,328 on average.
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 | $5,100 |
| $30–48k | $5,100 |
