Academics
Six-year completion sits at 47%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 67% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. The 37:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. As a for-profit four-year institution, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 704 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,889 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $30,790 at $0–30k against $28,227 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 31% of students receive any. 43% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $30,790 |
| $30–48k | $30,099 |
| $48–75k | $24,784 |
| $75–110k | $29,053 |
| $110k+ | $28,227 |
