American InterContinental University-Atlanta
For-profit College in Atlanta, GA. Six-year graduation rate 9%. Median 10-year earnings $36,144.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $36,144, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate is 9% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Debt is the pressure point: a median of $31,000 at graduation.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
- ! Debt-to-income ratio 0.86 — elevated (above 0.60)
- ! Graduation rate 9% — below national average
Academics
Completion is the problem here: 9% graduate within six years. Retention is weak: only 14% of full-time first-years return, so roughly nine in ten leave after one year. A 8:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit four-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. At 670 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 670 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $16,482 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $16,482 at $0–30k against $18,946 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 94% of students get grant aid averaging $6,538, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 85% take federal loans.
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.

| $0–30k | $16,482 |
| $30–48k | $18,159 |
