Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 50% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The student-faculty ratio is 22:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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 70 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $17,821 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($17,821 versus $24,591), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 79% of students at an average of $4,867. 69% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
