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. First-year retention of 84% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Unusually, part-time retention (100%) beats full-time, pointing to a student body that is part-time by design. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 424 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $17,694 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,131 at $0–30k, $22,818 at $110k+. 57% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,981 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 54% of students.
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.
