Arkansas Northeastern College
Public Community College in Blytheville, AR. Six-year graduation rate 49%. Median 10-year earnings $33,169.
Students who entered Arkansas Northeastern College reach a median of $33,169 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome. 49% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 49%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 64% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. The part-time picture is harder: 47% return, against 64% full-time. The student-faculty ratio is 20:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 680 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,358 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($5,232 versus $8,364), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 84% of students at an average of $4,484.
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 | $5,232 |
| $30–48k | $4,922 |
| $48–75k | $6,265 |
