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. First-year retention is 78% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 — 228 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Students pay an average of $13,589 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. About 59% get grants averaging $5,831, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 45% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $14,808 |
| $30–48k | — |
| $48–75k | — |
