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. 74% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. At 13:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 380 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 380 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,878 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($17,757 versus $19,652), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 84% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,313 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 95% 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.
