Beckfield College-Florence
For-profit College in Florence, KY. Six-year graduation rate 32%. Median 10-year earnings $37,114.
Ten-year median earnings of $37,114 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Completion is the weak point: 32% graduate within six years. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $23,500, neither a bargain nor a burden.
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 0.63 — elevated (above 0.60)
- ! Graduation rate 32% — below national average
Academics
Completion is the problem here: 32% graduate within six years. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit four-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. At 612 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 612 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $27,653 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($27,756 versus $30,007), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 76% get grants averaging $5,733, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 78% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $27,756 |
| $30–48k | $28,004 |
