Pima Medical Institute-Seattle
For-profit College in Seattle, WA. Six-year graduation rate 68%. Median 10-year earnings $38,673.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $38,673, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate of 68% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Borrowing stays contained, with median debt at graduation of $9,500.

Academics
A 68% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. 91% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Retention and graduation track closely, so most of the attrition shows up in the first year rather than after it. A 24:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 719 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price — what students actually pay after grant aid — is $30,170 a year, at the high end of undergraduate cost. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($30,965 versus $31,791), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 30% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 51% 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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $30,965 |
| $30–48k | $31,604 |
| $48–75k | $26,717 |
