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. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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 — 423 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 423 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,498 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($20,897 versus $24,493), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 55% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,631 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 52% of students.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $20,897 |
| $30–48k | $21,760 |
| $48–75k | $22,386 |
| $75–110k | $24,120 |
| $110k+ | $24,493 |
