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 is 77% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. This is a small school — 267 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 267 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,424 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $18,697 at $0–30k, $16,652 at $30–48k. About 65% get grants averaging $5,860, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 62% 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.
