Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is weak: only 35% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in three leave after one year. The 28:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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 174 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,886 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,936 at $0–30k against $20,960 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 66% get grants averaging $4,904, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. About 50% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.
