Academics
Six-year completion sits at 47%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. At 36:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Being a for-profit four-year institution 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. The undergraduate population is 5,773 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,773 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $27,774 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($27,679 versus $32,076), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 68% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,692 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 68% 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 | $27,679 |
| $30–48k | $27,926 |
| $48–75k | $28,363 |
