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. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a for-profit short-program school, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 57 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,738 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $-142 at $0–30k against $7,704 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 21% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants.
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.
