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. 83% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 24:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. 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. This is a small school — 1,325 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,325 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $29,161 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Net price varies modestly by income — $28,621 at $0–30k against $33,743 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 89% of students receive it, averaging $4,508. 64% 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.

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 | $28,621 |
| $30–48k | $28,953 |
| $48–75k | $29,972 |
| $75–110k | $33,819 |
| $110k+ | $33,743 |
