For-profit College in Houston, TX. Six-year graduation rate 31%. Median 10-year earnings $27,182.
Ten-year median earnings of $27,182 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Median debt at graduation is $5,353, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 48 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $13,022 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $13,582 at the $0–30k band to $21,968 at $48–75k. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $6,665. Most students borrow — 56% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
