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. At 9:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. This is a small school — 30 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 30 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Grant aid reaches 50% of students at an average of $4,010. 47% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.

Federal student loans went to 14 of these 30 students, totalling $46,000 — an average of $3,286 each.
