Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Just 57% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 237 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $20,484 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $20,484 at $0–30k against $18,698 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 89% receive grants worth $5,037 on average. 88% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
