Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 0% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. With 33% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. The 47:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. This is a for-profit four-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. This is a small school — 538 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
