88% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 650, 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 644 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $28,888 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $27,640 at $0–30k, $34,397 at $110k+. Most students get help: 97% receive grants worth $8,707 on average. 94% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $27,640 |
| $30–48k | $28,642 |
| $48–75k | $31,771 |
