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. First-year retention of 95% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. The undergraduate body is just 265, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 265 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $9,074 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($8,996 versus $12,283), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 36% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 43% 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.
