Academics
100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. At 47:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Being a for-profit four-year institution 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 — 1,314 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,314 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $18,962 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $17,118 at $0–30k against $19,093 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 96% of students receive it, averaging $6,319. 86% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
