Centura College-Richmond Main
For-profit College in North Chesterfield, VA.
Academics
No six-year graduation rate is reported for this institution, which is common for schools whose students are mostly part-time, transfer in, or enroll in short programs that the federal cohort measure does not track. Its absence is not itself a bad sign, but it does remove the clearest completion signal. Retention of 63% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Average net price after grant aid is $25,064 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,944 at $0–30k against $30,499 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 72% of students at an average of $5,774. Borrowing is widespread: 83% take federal loans.
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 | $23,944 |
| $30–48k | $25,386 |
| $48–75k | $28,073 |
