Student:faculty
29:1

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. 60% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. A 29:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a for-profit short-program school, 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. This is a small school — 129 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 129 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay an average of $18,916 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,682 at $0–30k against $23,696 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 69% of students at an average of $4,776. Borrowing is widespread: 64% 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.
