Jamestown Business College

Admissions

Jamestown Business College admits 86% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 134, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 77% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics

Six-year completion sits at 47%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a for-profit four-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. At 251 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

Financial Aid

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24

Students pay an average of $7,161 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $7,201 at $0–30k, $10,509 at $110k+. 98% of students get grant aid averaging $11,732, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 3% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.

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.
