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 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 8:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. At 163 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 163 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $21,452 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($18,712 versus $25,763), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 58% of students at an average of $5,731. Borrowing is widespread: 60% take federal loans.
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 | $18,712 |
| $30–48k | $20,674 |
| $48–75k | $21,656 |
| $75–110k | $24,365 |
| $110k+ | $25,763 |
