Westchester College

For-profit College in Los Angeles, CA.
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. Retention is strong at 91%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. The 6:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit short-program school, 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 11 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Students pay an average of $22,646 annually once grants are applied. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $23,922 while those at $48–75k pay $31,926. 91% of students get grant aid averaging $9,184, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay. 100% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $23,922 |
| $30–48k | $18,019 |
| $48–75k | $31,926 |
| $75–110k | — |
