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. 66% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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 153 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,844 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $17,912 while those at $110k+ pay $26,100. 75% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,016 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 70% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $17,912 |
| $30–48k | $16,983 |
