Academics
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. 52% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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 456 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 456 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,932 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $18,750 at $0–30k, $20,427 at $48–75k. Grant aid is limited — 38% of students receive any. 34% 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.
