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 is 74% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 144 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 144 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $15,621 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $13,936 at $0–30k against $20,428 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 85% receive grants worth $9,110 on average. Most students borrow — 91% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.

| $0–30k | $13,936 |
