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. Retention of 67% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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. This is a small school — 89 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 89 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

At $12,913 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $11,236 at $0–30k, $17,349 at $75–110k. About 76% get grants averaging $5,421, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 42% 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.
