Key College
For-profit College in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Six-year graduation rate 100%.
- ✓ Graduation rate 100% — well above the national average
Academics
100% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. Retention is weak: only 25% of full-time first-years return, so roughly three in four leave after one year. A 6:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. This is a small school — 23 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Net price lands at $16,312 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($14,267 versus $14,987), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $3,955, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 52% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
