For-profit College in Valparaiso, IN. Median 10-year earnings $43,927.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $43,927 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. The six-year graduation rate is 0% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. Just 38% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 184 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price averages $38,145 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($37,423 versus $43,083), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 47% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Borrowing is widespread: 72% 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.

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 | $37,423 |
| $30–48k | $39,335 |
