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. First-year retention is 79% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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 2,049 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $32,866 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. Income makes less difference than usual: $32,715 at $0–30k, $38,243 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 92% of students receive it, averaging $4,359. 75% 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 | $32,715 |
| $30–48k | $32,225 |
| $48–75k | $34,316 |
