Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention is strong at 86%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit short-program school 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 193 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $18,411 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $18,593 at $0–30k, $22,279 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 47% of students receive any. 49% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $18,593 |
| $30–48k | $18,941 |
| $48–75k | $18,350 |
| $75–110k | $24,076 |
| $110k+ | $22,279 |
