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. 68% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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 1,070, 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 1,070 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $35,002 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($35,002 versus $40,445), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 87% of students get grant aid averaging $4,512, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Most students borrow — 80% 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 | $35,002 |
| $30–48k | $35,691 |
| $48–75k | $36,534 |
| $75–110k | $40,445 |
