PiBerry Institute
For-profit College in Homestead, FL.
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. 72% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 249, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
