College-San Diego
For-profit College in San Diego, CA.
Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. This is a small school — 198 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Net price lands at $24,674 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,635 at $0–30k against $26,529 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 89% of students get grant aid averaging $7,335, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Only 21% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $24,635 |
| $30–48k | $24,020 |
| $48–75k | $25,274 |
| $75–110k | $26,529 |
| $110k+ | — |
