Student:faculty
15:1

This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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 — 287 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 287 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $27,635 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $26,198 at $0–30k against $30,722 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 36% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 46% of students.

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 $26,198
$30–48k $28,246
$48–75k $26,676
