Brookline College-Phoenix
For-profit College in Phoenix, AZ. Six-year graduation rate 38%. Median 10-year earnings $29,576.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $29,576, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Completion is the weak point: 38% graduate within six years. Median debt at graduation is $9,500, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.32 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Completion is the problem here: 38% graduate within six years. Retention is weak: only 25% of full-time first-years return, so roughly three in four leave after one year. At 22:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 1,079 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,079 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $27,550 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $29,573 at $0–30k against $33,570 at $30–48k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 37% of students receive any. Federal borrowing reaches 40% 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.
