67% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. 33% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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.

Net price is not reported for this institution, which means there is no single what-you-pay number to compare — the aid participation rates below are the closest available proxy. Only 4% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price.
