The College
of Health Care Professions-Austin
For-profit College in Austin, TX. Six-year graduation rate 64%. Median 10-year earnings $38,922.
Ten-year median earnings of $38,922 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 64% finish within six years — respectable, though a meaningful share still leave without a credential. Graduates leave owing a median of $9,120 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.23 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
64% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. Retention of 66% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. At 26:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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. At 1,345 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,345 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $27,452 annually once grants are applied. Net price varies modestly by income — $27,440 at $0–30k against $32,119 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 77% of students at an average of $4,983. Most students borrow — 71% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $27,440 |
| $30–48k | $26,791 |
| $48–75k | $29,859 |
| $75–110k | $32,369 |
| $110k+ | $32,119 |
