Florida Career College-Miami
For-profit College in Miami, FL. Six-year graduation rate 46%.
Academics
Completion is middling: 46% finish inside six years. 63% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about two in five are gone before sophomore year. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $34,330 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($34,126 versus $38,788), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 99% of students get grant aid averaging $5,359, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. Borrowing is widespread: 73% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $34,126 |
| $30–48k | $33,122 |
| $48–75k | $36,073 |
| $75–110k | $38,788 |
| $110k+ | — |
