Student:faculty
16:1

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. First-year retention of 84% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 378 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 378 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Students pay $29,681 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Income makes less difference than usual: $27,286 at $0–30k, $33,615 at $110k+. 44% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. About 44% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.

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.

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.

$30–48k $29,817
$48–75k $30,800
