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 96%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 375 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 375 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,829 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($21,701 versus $23,683), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 67% of students at an average of $4,402. About 51% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.
