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 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 19:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 319 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 319 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $26,022 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($26,022 versus $30,626), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 46% of students receive any. Federal borrowing reaches 35% 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.
