Theatre of Arts
For-profit College in Hollywood, CA. Six-year graduation rate 50%.
Academics
Completion is middling: 50% finish inside six years. Retention is weak: only 43% of full-time first-years return, so roughly three in five leave after one year. A 3:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit two-year institution. 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 — 36 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
