For-profit College in McAllen, TX. Six-year graduation rate 77%. Median 10-year earnings $33,070.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $33,070, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. 77% graduate within six years, so most students who start here finish here. Median debt at graduation is $9,500, a light load against those earnings.

Academics
Six-year completion runs to 77% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. Retention is strong at 84%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. 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 1,176 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,176 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $25,755 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $25,692 at $0–30k, $31,264 at $110k+. About 78% get grants averaging $5,244, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Most students borrow — 80% 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 | $25,692 |
| $30–48k | $25,623 |
| $48–75k | $26,698 |
