College-Pembroke Pines
For-profit College in Pembroke Pines, FL.
Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention is 70% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. The student-faculty ratio is 21:1 — typical, which in practice means large lectures early and smaller classes in the major. As a for-profit short-program school, 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 678 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $31,654 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. Net price varies modestly by income — $31,794 at $0–30k against $34,168 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $5,841, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 70% 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 | $31,794 |
| $30–48k | $31,421 |
| $48–75k | $34,168 |
