Student:faculty
15:1

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. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. As a for-profit four-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. At 178 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 167 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

One gap to flag: this institution does not report an average net price, so the figures here describe who receives aid rather than what a year actually costs. Use the school's own net price calculator before comparing it against anywhere else. Grant aid is limited — 17% of students receive any. 15% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.

Federal student loans went to 25 of these 167 students, totalling $233,297 — an average of $9,332 each.
