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. Retention is weak: only 40% of full-time first-years return, so roughly three in five leave after one year. The 12:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit four-year institution 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. The undergraduate body is just 249, 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 226 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $32,240 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $34,080 at $0–30k against $31,220 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Only 43% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 49% 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.
