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. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. At 10:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. The undergraduate body is just 75, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 75 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price is $9,391 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($7,675 versus $9,849), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 37% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants.

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.
