Student:faculty

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. 86% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 23:1 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. The undergraduate body is just 173, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 173 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 reaches 54% of students at an average of $4,010. 57% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.

Federal student loans went to 98 of these 173 students, totalling $479,998 — an average of $4,898 each.
