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. First-year retention of 94% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 83% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. At 10:1, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 110 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $22,158 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $21,650 at $0–30k against $27,743 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 25% of students receive any. 24% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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 | $21,650 |
| $30–48k | $21,033 |
| $48–75k | $26,205 |
| $75–110k | $27,743 |
