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 92%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. This is a small school — 608 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 608 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,918 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $18,047 at $0–30k against $17,840 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 63% of students at an average of $5,686. 60% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $18,047 |
| $30–48k | $17,963 |
| $48–75k | $20,515 |
