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 86% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 24:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. The undergraduate body is just 24, 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 24 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $3,640 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $3,631 at $0–30k against $3,787 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 83% get grants averaging $7,395, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 63% 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.

| $0–30k | $3,631 |
