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 of 92% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Part-time students fare worse, returning at 80% — relevant if you plan to work while enrolled. The 6:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 172 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $21,580 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,860 at $0–30k, $25,155 at $110k+. Only 42% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 51% 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.

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 | $17,860 |
| $30–48k | $17,860 |
| $48–75k | $23,032 |
| $75–110k | $25,203 |
| $110k+ | $25,155 |
