Student:faculty
17:1

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. 92% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. At 17:1, 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. This is a small school — 203 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 203 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $27,777 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $27,762 at $0–30k against $27,912 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 84% of students at an average of $4,480. Borrowing is widespread: 72% take federal loans.

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.
