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. Retention of 75% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 10:1 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. The undergraduate body is just 191, 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 191 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $14,707 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($14,275 versus $19,765), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 72% get grants averaging $5,062, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 57% 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 | $14,275 |
| $30–48k | $16,235 |
| $48–75k | $15,118 |
