Interactive College
of Technology-Gainesville
For-profit College in Gainesville, GA. Six-year graduation rate 31%. Median 10-year earnings $27,065.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $27,065, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Graduates leave owing a median of $10,555 — modest by four-year standards.

Academics
Only 31% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 57% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one 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. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a for-profit two-year institution. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 47 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,796 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $16,686 at $0–30k, $16,705 at $48–75k. About 70% get grants averaging $5,112, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 34% 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.
