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. A 5:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 109 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 109 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

No average net price is published here, so the cost side of this page is incomplete. Treat the participation rates as a signal about aid, not about price. Only 29% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. About 41% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

Federal student loans went to 45 of these 109 students, totalling $203,965 — an average of $4,533 each.
