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. 78% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in five are gone before sophomore year. At 20:1, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 243 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $26,736 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $26,376 at $0–30k, $26,376 at $48–75k. About 54% get grants averaging $7,622, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 54% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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 | $26,376 |
| $30–48k | $26,376 |
| $48–75k | $26,376 |
