Miller-Motte College-Raleigh
For-profit College in Raleigh, NC. Six-year graduation rate 79%. Median 10-year earnings $31,102.
Ten-year median earnings of $31,102 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 79% graduate within six years, so most students who start here finish here. Graduates leave owing a median of $15,917 — 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 79% — well above the national average
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
A 79% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. Retention of 68% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. As a for-profit two-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. The undergraduate body is just 414, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 414 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,736 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($22,557 versus $22,103), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 83% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,293 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 83% 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.
