American Institute
of Healthcare & Technology
For-profit College in Stratford, CT. Six-year graduation rate 100%.
100% graduate within six years, so most students who start here finish here. Graduates leave owing a median of $7,125 — modest by four-year standards.
- ✓ Graduation rate 100% — well above the national average
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion runs to 100% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention is strong at 94%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 10:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. At 213 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 213 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $32,821 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($33,254 versus $35,273), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 52% of students receive grant aid, averaging $3,488 — common but not automatic. 13% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
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 | $33,254 |
| $30–48k | $30,241 |
| $48–75k | $29,317 |
| $75–110k | $35,273 |
