Premiere International College
For-profit College in Fort Myers, FL. Six-year graduation rate 50%.
Academics
Completion is middling: 50% finish inside six years. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. At 15:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Being a for-profit two-year institution 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 106 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $27,427 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The gap between the $0–30k and $30–48k bands is narrow ($27,427 versus $27,427), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 71% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,230 — common but not automatic. 100% 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.
