Lansdale School
of Business
For-profit Community College in North Wales, PA. Six-year graduation rate 85%. Median 10-year earnings $37,442.
Ten-year median earnings of $37,442 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate of 85% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Graduates leave owing a median of $13,492 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Graduation rate 85% — well above the national average
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Six-year completion runs to 85% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 56% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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. At 87 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 87 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $27,727 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $24,066 at $0–30k against $29,137 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 60% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,069 — common but not automatic. 76% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $24,066 |
| $30–48k | $28,127 |
| $48–75k | $31,825 |
