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 72% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 21:1, 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. This is a small school — 571 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 568 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,660 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($19,884 versus $24,086), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 60% get grants averaging $5,596, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 65% take federal loans.
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 | $19,884 |
| $30–48k | $21,242 |
| $48–75k | $22,950 |
