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 55% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 235 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,657 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($22,965 versus $27,642), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 58% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,882 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 66% 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.
