For-profit College in Wauwatosa, WI. Median 10-year earnings $25,122.
Ten-year median earnings of $25,122 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Median debt at graduation is $10,486, a light load against those earnings.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

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. First-year retention of 83% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. At 11:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. 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. At 166 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 166 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,927 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $18,361 at $0–30k, $20,399 at $30–48k. Grant aid reaches 52% of students at an average of $4,566. 49% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
