Academics
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. Just 14% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. A 12:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a for-profit short-program school, 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 34 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 34 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $35,077 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. About 79% get grants averaging $6,878, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 56% 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.
