Academics
Only 33% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. 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 population is 2,728 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
