Academics
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. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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 332, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 332 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $17,533 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,821 at $0–30k against $22,657 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 45% of students receive any. 63% 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.

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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $16,821 |
| $30–48k | $17,473 |
| $48–75k | $19,008 |
| $75–110k | $20,188 |
| $110k+ | $22,657 |
