Admissions

Acceptance rate
87%
Applicants
1,157
Yield rate
14.2%

Admission is not the constraint here: 87% of applicants are accepted. Only 1,157 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. Yield is low at 14%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 24% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Test 25th–75th percentile Submitted
SAT Evidence-Based Reading 410–585 34 (24%)
SAT Math 460–490
ACT Composite 21–26 73 (51%)

Academics

Full-time retention
74%
Transfer-out rate
0%
Student:faculty
27:1

63% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 27:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a for-profit four-year institution, 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. This is a small school — 530 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 530 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $34,557 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $32,906 at $0–30k, $40,388 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 94% of students receive it, averaging $12,277. Most students borrow — 87% take federal loans to cover the gap.

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.

Family income band Average net price
