Ross College-Sylvania
For-profit College in Sylvania, OH. Six-year graduation rate 53%. Median 10-year earnings $29,898.
Ten-year median earnings of $29,898 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 53% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Median debt at graduation is $9,500, 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.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.32 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Completion is middling: 53% finish inside six years. 40% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. A 50:1 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. The undergraduate population is 2,411 — big enough for a real range of programs, small enough to navigate.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,411 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $22,692 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price swings hard on family income here, from $22,865 at the $0–30k band to $31,364 at $110k+. About 75% get grants averaging $5,660, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. 61% 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 | $22,865 |
| $30–48k | $22,676 |
| $48–75k | $22,863 |
