Academics
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. 94% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 19:1, 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 — 400 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 364 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $636 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $1,889 at $0–30k, $6,893 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 18% of students receive any. Only 6% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $1,889 |
| $30–48k | $3,146 |
| $48–75k | $4,196 |
| $75–110k | — |
