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. 38% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 43:1 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 236 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,910 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,997 at $0–30k against $24,356 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 70% of students at an average of $4,541. Borrowing is widespread: 62% 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.

| $0–30k | $19,997 |
| $30–48k | $21,187 |
