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 is 77% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The part-time picture is harder: 67% return, against 77% full-time. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 794 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $19,491 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,759 at $0–30k, $18,433 at $110k+. About 69% get grants averaging $5,232, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 69% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $19,759 |
| $30–48k | $18,333 |
| $48–75k | $21,265 |
