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 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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. 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
Students pay an average of $12,782 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,560 at $0–30k against $17,938 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 25% of students receive any. About 27% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $10,560 |
| $30–48k | $11,543 |
| $48–75k | $14,588 |
| $75–110k | $16,156 |
| $110k+ | $17,938 |
