Student:faculty

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. 84% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 14:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 279 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 279 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $24,583 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $25,962 at $0–30k against $28,866 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 53% get grants averaging $4,774, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing reaches 53% of students.

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.

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.

$30–48k $24,574
$48–75k $25,666
