For-profit College in Milwaukee, WI. Median 10-year earnings $31,723.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $31,723, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Median debt at graduation is $6,333, a light load against those earnings.

Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 93% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 9:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Being a for-profit short-program school 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. At 363 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 363 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $12,553 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $12,165 at $0–30k against $16,190 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 54% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,809 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 75% take federal loans.
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 | $12,165 |
| $30–48k | $12,184 |
| $48–75k | $12,841 |
| $75–110k | $15,058 |
| $110k+ | $16,190 |
