Academics
Completion is the problem here: 0% graduate within six years. The 100% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. The 47:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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 377, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
