For-profit College in Pensacola, FL.
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. The student-faculty ratio is 19:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Students pay an average of $18,705 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $18,701 at $0–30k against $20,791 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 86% of students get grant aid averaging $5,135, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 75% take federal loans.
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.

| $0–30k | $18,701 |
| $30–48k | $19,687 |
| $48–75k | $20,791 |
