Admissions
PCI Health Training Center admits 100% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle. The applicant pool is small at 152, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 91% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. 92% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 26:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. Being a for-profit short-program school 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. This is a small school — 493 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 493 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $20,368 annually once grants are applied. Income makes less difference than usual: $19,928 at $0–30k, $23,577 at $75–110k. 88% of students get grant aid averaging $6,136, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 82% 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 | $19,928 |
| $30–48k | $20,091 |
