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 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 95 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,294 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $17,930 at $0–30k against $18,455 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 51% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,559 — common but not automatic. 59% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
