For-profit College in Davenport, IA. Six-year graduation rate 67%. Median 10-year earnings $23,303.
Ten-year median earnings of $23,303 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Completion is a strength: 67% of students finish within six years.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
Six-year completion runs to 67% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 84% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. A 21:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit short-program school, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 214 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,238 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $16,632 at $0–30k, $22,558 at $110k+. 70% of students receive grant aid, averaging $6,710 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 70% take federal loans.
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.

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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $16,632 |
| $30–48k | $17,666 |
| $48–75k | $19,712 |
| $75–110k | $22,558 |
| $110k+ | $22,558 |
