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 95%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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 539 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 539 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $29,589 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $28,199 at $0–30k, $34,319 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 55% of students at an average of $4,791. Federal borrowing reaches 46% 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.

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 | $28,199 |
| $30–48k | $26,924 |
| $48–75k | $26,924 |
| $75–110k | $33,633 |
| $110k+ | $34,319 |
