This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. Retention is strong at 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 23:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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. This is a small school — 134 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 134 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $23,195 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($23,283 versus $29,753), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 25% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. Federal borrowing reaches 25% 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $23,283 |
| $30–48k | $23,323 |
| $48–75k | $22,591 |
| $75–110k | $28,021 |
| $110k+ | $29,753 |
