Universal College
of Healing Arts
For-profit College in Omaha, NE. Six-year graduation rate 80%. Median 10-year earnings $28,865.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $28,865, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate of 80% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students. Graduates leave owing a median of $14,768 — modest by four-year standards.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
80% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 100% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 27 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $21,658 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Grant aid reaches 67% of students at an average of $4,012. Most students borrow — 67% 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.
