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. Retention of 70% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 11:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a for-profit short-program school, 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. The undergraduate body is just 230, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 230 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,659 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $25,585 at $0–30k against $26,298 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 80% get grants averaging $4,498, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 62% 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.
