Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 0% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. A 47:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a for-profit four-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. The undergraduate body is just 400, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. 97% of students get grant aid averaging $5,991, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 91% take federal loans.
Federal student loans went to 364 of these 400 students, totalling $3,356,351 — an average of $9,221 each.
