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. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The 5:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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 — 46 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
