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. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 295 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $24,195 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,901 at $0–30k against $24,883 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 41% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 45% 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.

| $0–30k | $24,901 |
| $30–48k | $19,778 |
