Atlantis University
For-profit College in Miami, FL. Six-year graduation rate 52%.
The six-year graduation rate is 52%, meaning about one in two students who start do not finish. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $25,870, neither a bargain nor a burden.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Completion is middling: 52% finish inside six years. Retention is weak: only 49% of full-time first-years return, so roughly one in two leave after one year. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. This is a for-profit four-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. This is a small school — 313 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 313 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $16,189 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($17,848 versus $19,474), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 32% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Federal borrowing reaches 26% of students.
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 | $17,848 |
| $30–48k | $18,436 |
