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. Retention is strong at 88%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 5:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. This is a small school — 107 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 107 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,095 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($21,479 versus $21,689), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 51% of students at an average of $4,811. Federal borrowing reaches 50% of students.
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 | $21,479 |
| $30–48k | $22,683 |
| $48–75k | $23,149 |
