Academics
Completion is middling: 58% finish inside six years. The student-faculty ratio is 21:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 465 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 465 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $20,463 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $19,040 while those at $110k+ pay $27,426. About 70% get grants averaging $6,943, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 75% take federal loans.
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 | $19,040 |
| $30–48k | $20,462 |
| $48–75k | $22,337 |
