Academics
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. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. At 131 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 131 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $29,092 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Income makes less difference than usual: $29,606 at $0–30k, $35,671 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 68% of students at an average of $5,694. Borrowing is widespread: 66% 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.

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 | $29,606 |
| $30–48k | $29,425 |
| $48–75k | $29,226 |
| $75–110k | $35,671 |
| $110k+ | $35,671 |
