Below is information regarding our consumer disclosures and the reporting periods used to acquire this data.

Occupational Information
This information represents the occupation(s) that our academic programs prepare students to enter. This information is identified by:

• Cross-referencing the program’s CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) Code* with the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system**
• SOC system is used by the Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data.
• Each occupation listed below also links to an occupational profile on the Occupational Information Network (O*NET).
  • O*NET is the nation’s primary source of occupational information.

On-time Graduation Rate
The on-time graduation rate:

• Includes students who graduated within normal⊕ time between July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011.
• Calculated by taking the number of students who completed the program within normal time/by the total number of students who completed the program X 100.

Tuition and Fees

• Tuition and fees for all academic programs are $92,613, if completed within normal⊕ time.
• $95 application fee ($10 fee for veterans)
• Tuition and fees are subject to change.
• Students who do not pay in full for the entire program at the time of enrollment will be subject to periodic tuition increases which will increase the total amount of the program.
  • If a student requires more than 8 semesters to graduate, additional tuition will be billed at the rate in effect at that time.

Net Price Calculator
Click here to determine an estimate of your net price to attend our school using the Net Price Calculator.

What is the Net Price Calculator and how does it work?

The calculator measures the expected family contribution (the amount of money your family is expected to contribute to your education) and uses other facts you provide to estimate the amount of grants and scholarship aid that is likely to be available to you. Your "net price" is the difference between that amount and the cost of attendance.

A few points to remember:

1. The results of the Net Price calculator are only an estimate, are only as reliable as the data you provide, and are not guaranteed. It may be helpful to have your recent tax form or pay stub available when completing the calculator in order to have a more accurate estimate.
2. The calculator will only give you an estimate of your net cost and grant aid that maybe available to you. It does not calculate the amount of any loans you may be eligible for (loans are not grant aid).
3. This is not an application for admission or financial aid. To apply for admission click here. To apply for financial aid you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our school code is 039733.

More information on Financial Aid can be found on our financial aid page.

Placement/Employment Rates
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is in the process of determining a methodology for developing the placement rate for students who complete their academic programs. Until such time, we are required to disclose the placement rates as calculated for both the State of California’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) and the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC).

ACCSC Employment Rate
The ACCSC placement rates used here are taken from the 2010 Annual Report. The cohort consists of:

• Students must have graduated within 150% of the program length between April 2005 – March 2006 and obtained employment in the field of their study.
• These students must have been available for employment.
  • Death, incarceration, active military service deployment, the onset of a medical condition that prevents employment, or international students who had to return to their country of origin are reasons that would make a student unavailable for employment and therefore are not counted as data to calculate placement rates.

BPPE Placement Rate
The BPPE cohort consists of:

• The number of students who graduated within 32.5 months and were employed in their field of study within 6 months of graduation.
• These students must have been available for employment.
  • Death, incarceration, active military service deployment, the onset of a medical condition that prevents employment, or international students that leave the United States or do not have a visa allowing employment in the United States, or are continuing their education at an accredited or bureau-approved postsecondary institution make a student unavailable for employment and therefore are not counted as data to calculate placement rates.

Median Loan Debt
Median loan debt looks at the median amount of loans students in a particular program incur, by looking at all of the students in a program group who had loans, arranging the loans in ascending order and determining the loan amount that is in the middle. Additionally, the median loan amounts have been separated into three different categories: Title IV, private educational loans, and institutional financing.

Each qualifying student has a different financial aid plan, which may or may not include loans from these three categories.

The student group used to calculate this information includes:

• Students that graduated within the normal⊕ time during July 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011.

Median Title IV loan debt includes:

• All loans provided under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program
• All loans provided under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program
  • Parent PLUS Loans, TEACH Grants that have not been converted to Unsubsidized Direct Loans, and Federal Perkins Loans are not included in the Median Title IV loan debt calculations.

Private educational loans include:

• Loans made for educational expenses by financial institutions, credit unions, institutions of higher education or their affiliates, and States and localities.

Institutional financing plan debt includes:

• Any loan, extension of credit, payment plan, or other financing options that would not be considered a private educational loan.
  • These loans are repaid to an institution upon completion of the program.

*According to the US Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences’ National Center for Education Statistics, “The CIP titles and program descriptions are intended to be generic categories into which program completions data can be placed, not exact duplicates of a specific major or field of study titles used by individual institutions.”

**The SOC system, according to US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, is “used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating data. All workers are classified into one of 840 detailed occupations according to their occupational definition. To facilitate classification, detailed occupations are combined to form 461 broad occupations, 97 minor groups, and 23 major groups. Detailed occupations in the SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together.”

Due to the nature of these classification systems the occupational information listed below include a broad array of employment areas.
