For-profit College in Escondido, CA.
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 is 75% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 15:1, 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 — 111 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 111 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $23,160 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($24,213 versus $28,835), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,025 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 58% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $24,213 |
| $30–48k | $26,379 |
| $48–75k | $25,218 |
| $75–110k | $28,835 |
