Student:faculty
15:1

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. Retention is strong at 88%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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. This is a small school — 45 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 45 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $16,685 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $16,638 at $0–30k, $23,991 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 78% of students at an average of $6,751. Borrowing is widespread: 78% 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.

Family income band Average net price
$0–30k $16,638
$30–48k $17,027
$48–75k $17,272
