Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention of 74% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 12:1 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. The undergraduate body is just 94, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 94 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,730 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $18,996 at $0–30k against $21,723 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 57% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,389 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 57% take federal loans.
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.
