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. 89% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The part-time picture is harder: 50% return, against 89% full-time. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 350 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $28,349 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($28,716 versus $33,260), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 43% of students receive any. Federal borrowing reaches 50% 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 | $28,716 |
| $30–48k | $26,919 |
| $48–75k | $29,561 |
| $75–110k | $31,282 |
| $110k+ | $33,260 |
