Aviation Institute
of Maintenance-Dallas
For-profit College in Irving, TX. Six-year graduation rate 53%. Median 10-year earnings $42,375.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $42,375 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. 53% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Graduates leave owing a median of $32,229 — a substantial load to service on these earnings.
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 0.76 — elevated (above 0.60)
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 53%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. First-year retention is 66% — 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. A 18:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 429 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $25,642 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $26,098 at $0–30k, $31,817 at $110k+. Grant aid is limited — 48% of students receive any. Federal borrowing reaches 45% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $26,098 |
| $30–48k | $28,400 |
| $48–75k | $28,579 |
| $75–110k | $30,540 |
| $110k+ | $31,817 |
