College-Kansas City
For-profit College in Kansas City, MO. Six-year graduation rate 53%. Median 10-year earnings $35,242.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $35,242, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate is 53%, meaning about one in two students who start do not finish. Graduates leave owing a median of $9,500 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.27 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 96% of applicants are accepted. Only 300 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. Yield is high — 57% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Completion is middling: 53% finish inside six years. A 22:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. 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. The undergraduate body is just 952, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 952 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $29,651 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Income makes less difference than usual: $29,142 at $0–30k, $34,349 at $110k+. 74% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,210 — common but not automatic. 71% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 666 students
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 | $29,142 |
| $30–48k | $29,689 |
| $48–75k | $30,274 |
| $75–110k | $32,777 |
| $110k+ | $34,349 |
