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. First-year retention of 86% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 19:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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. The undergraduate body is just 183, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 183 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,027 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $17,446 at $0–30k, $23,049 at $110k+. 52% of students receive grant aid, averaging $4,882 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing reaches 54% 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 | $17,446 |
| $30–48k | $20,661 |
| $48–75k | $22,308 |
