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. 100% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 11:1 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. At 335 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 335 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $18,333 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($17,693 versus $24,837), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 41% of students receive any. 36% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.

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 | $17,693 |
| $30–48k | $17,552 |
| $48–75k | $19,219 |
