Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 16:1, 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. This is a small school — 463 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 463 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,926 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($16,925 versus $16,929), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 56% of students at an average of $5,170. 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.
