Cambridge College

For-profit College in Altamonte Springs, FL. Six-year graduation rate 47%. Median 10-year earnings $28,190.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $28,190, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. 47% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Graduates leave owing a median of $14,656 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Six-year completion sits at 47%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. 0% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Being a for-profit four-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. This is a small school — 298 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 298 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,760 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $21,837 at $0–30k, $28,779 at $75–110k. 70% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,885 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 74% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
