of ASU

Students who entered California College of ASU land at a median of $42,014 a decade later, close to what most four-year schools deliver. Completion is the weak point: 37% graduate within six years. Median debt at graduation is $25,000, roughly typical for an undergraduate degree.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 37% graduate within six years. 25% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 7:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a private nonprofit four-year college, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. At 149 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 149 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay $28,425 a year on average after aid, a premium price that the earnings data has to justify. The income table below is the number that matters — $15,386 at $0–30k versus $30,319 at $110k+. About 81% get grants averaging $6,848, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Borrowing is widespread: 62% take federal loans.
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.
