How much a student actually pays usually depends, at least in part, on their family's household income. At Academy College this year, we project students with incomes between $30K and $48K will pay around $36,008, while students with incomes between $48K and $75K will pay around $29,360. That's a difference of $6,648.

| $30K-$48K | $36,008 |
| $48K-$75K | $29,360 |

A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At Academy College, over the last five years 100% of students earned their bachelor’s degree within six years of enrolling.
Students from different demographic backgrounds often graduate at different rates, so it can be helpful to look beyond the overall graduation rate. This chart shows how students of different races and ethnicities fare earning their degrees at Academy College.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at Academy College | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 31% | |
| Asian | 100% | 45% |
| Black | 34% | |
| Hispanic | 100% | 41% |
| Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander | 28% | |
| White | 100% | 50% |
| Multiple races | 100% | 37% |
| Unknown race | 37% |
Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at Academy College, about 65% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. Academy College has 140 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 4-year schools.
About 87% of students are male.
And about 61% of students are of an unknown demographic background.
