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 92%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 391 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $23,291 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $22,182 at $0–30k against $25,318 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 38% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 39% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.

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.
