How the grade was assigned

This school is compared only with four-year colleges. For each measure, the site works out what share of those schools it beats, then combines the measures with fixed weights. The top 10% of similar schools get an A and the bottom 25% get an F. This school's grade is F. The full method is on the main page. The formula is the same for every school.

Read before you decide

Graduation and earnings averages hide wide differences between programs, and between students who finish and those who do not.
The expected figures adjust for student mix, but not for every factor. Working adults, part-time students and transfers are counted differently in different measures.
Federal figures are reported by the school and may change with each release. Check the current record before you decide.
