Career College
of Northern Nevada
For-profit Community College in Sparks, NV. Six-year graduation rate 60%.
Academics
Completion is middling: 60% finish inside six years. 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. At 427 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $36,438 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($36,062 versus $40,067), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. About 58% get grants averaging $4,090, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 67% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $36,062 |
| $30–48k | $37,892 |
| $48–75k | $38,649 |
| $75–110k | $39,524 |
| $110k+ | $40,067 |
