Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 91% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. 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. This is a small school — 195 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 195 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $9,859 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $9,859 at $0–30k, $16,300 at $30–48k. 25% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 22% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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.
