Ten-year median earnings of $104,403 are the headline number here, and they are strong ones. The six-year graduation rate is 56%, meaning about two in five students who start do not finish. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $25,730, neither a bargain nor a burden.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

17:1

56% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Just 40% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. At 17:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. As a for-profit two-year institution, 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. At 960 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 960 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $25,602 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $24,806 at the $0–30k band to $34,498 at $110k+. About 55% get grants averaging $7,183, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 77% 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.

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 $24,806
$30–48k $26,555
$48–75k $29,153
