the School-Indianapolis
For-profit College in Indianapolis, IN. Median 10-year earnings $34,913.
Ten-year median earnings of $34,913 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Graduates leave owing a median of $9,500 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.27 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 82% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Part-time students actually return at a higher rate, 100%, which is unusual and suggests the school is built for them. At 16:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. 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 272 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,292 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($15,603 versus $22,164), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 32% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published price. About 44% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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 | $15,603 |
| $30–48k | $16,997 |
| $48–75k | $19,973 |
| $75–110k | $20,701 |
| $110k+ | $22,164 |
