International College

For-profit Community College in Dayton, OH. Six-year graduation rate 86%.
- ✓ Graduation rate 86% — well above the national average
Academics
86% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 84% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 8:1 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. The undergraduate body is just 35, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Students pay an average of $17,876 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($18,363 versus $17,032), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 84% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,261 — common but not automatic. Most students borrow — 83% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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.
