Student:faculty
20:1

The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention is weak: only 1% of full-time first-years return, so roughly nine in ten leave after one year. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 83 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $9,519 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,734 at $0–30k against $11,881 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 41% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 37% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.
