Academics
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. 45% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. At 26:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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 — 86 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 86 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,433 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $19,364 at $0–30k against $19,671 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 73% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,406 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 63% 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 | $19,364 |
| $30–48k | $20,595 |
