Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention of 80% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. The undergraduate body is just 156, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 156 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $21,059 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $20,978 at $0–30k, $22,724 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 48% of students receive any. 58% 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.
