Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 95%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The part-time picture is harder: 85% return, against 95% full-time. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 196 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $23,168 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,958 at $0–30k, $24,265 at $110k+. 65% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,594 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 55% 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.
