Median earnings ten years after entry come to $37,518, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Six-year completion sits at 42%, near the national average for undergraduate institutions. Debt is the pressure point: a median of $43,021 at graduation.

Six-year completion sits at 42%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. At 28:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 271 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $27,619 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The income table below is the number that matters — $18,399 at $0–30k versus $29,491 at $110k+. 38% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 46% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.

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.

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.
