Academics
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. First-year retention of 90% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. This is a small school — 237 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 237 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $19,873 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($18,064 versus $21,116), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is limited — 15% of students receive any. 15% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $18,064 |
| $30–48k | $20,486 |
| $48–75k | $22,316 |
| $75–110k | $17,316 |
| $110k+ | $21,116 |
