For-profit College in Riverside, CA. Six-year graduation rate 65%. Median 10-year earnings $31,109.
Ten-year median earnings of $31,109 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Completion is a strength: 66% of students finish within six years. Median debt at graduation is $9,500, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.31 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
A 66% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 72% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. At 25:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. Being a for-profit two-year institution 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. This is a small school — 479 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 479 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $19,229 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($18,703 versus $24,711), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 86% of students get grant aid averaging $6,809, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 84% 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 | $18,703 |
| $30–48k | $18,444 |
| $48–75k | $21,064 |
| $75–110k | $22,829 |
| $110k+ | $24,711 |
