For-profit College in Miami, FL.
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 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. 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
Net price lands at $23,883 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($21,407 versus $24,855), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 70% of students at an average of $5,524. About 52% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $21,407 |
| $30–48k | $18,360 |
| $48–75k | $20,435 |
| $75–110k | $24,855 |
| $110k+ | — |
