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. Retention is strong at 95%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 10:1 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. This is a small school — 66 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 66 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $8,269 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $4,008 while those at $110k+ pay $14,854. About 73% get grants averaging $5,753, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 71% take federal loans.
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 | $4,008 |
| $30–48k | $8,126 |
| $48–75k | $6,040 |
| $75–110k | $15,261 |
| $110k+ | $14,854 |
