Florida Career College-Houston
For-profit College in Houston, TX. Six-year graduation rate 44%.
Academics
Six-year completion sits at 44%, meaning about three in five students who enroll leave without finishing. Just 52% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. A 9:1 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. At 1,484 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Net price averages $33,861 annually, so cost is the first thing to weigh here. Net price varies modestly by income — $33,952 at $0–30k against $37,164 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 99% receive grants worth $5,886 on average. 68% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $33,952 |
| $30–48k | $32,887 |
| $48–75k | $33,841 |
| $75–110k | $39,664 |
| $110k+ | $37,164 |
