Program Notes
A new program: CAAHEP accredited it in 2022, and the first cohort (entered January 2023, 14 students) graduated in 2025 with a 100% first-attempt pass rate, and the 2026 class repeated it (13 of 13 passed, all employed at graduation). Entry is each January, and the 2026-27 cycle's final deadline of August 1, 2026 has already passed for the January 2027 start. The seat count comes from a news article rather than an official admissions figure, and cohorts appear to be growing (14, then 18). The tuition figure is a computed per-credit total across 111 credits, not a program-published lump sum.
