How much a student actually pays usually depends, at least in part, on their family's household income. At Carnegie Institute this year, we project students with incomes between $48K and $75K will pay around $23,223, while students with incomes below $30K will pay around $12,100. That's a difference of $11,123.
| Income bracket | Projected net price at Carnegie Institute |
|---|---|
| <$30K | $12,100 |
| $30K-$48K | $12,100 |
| $48K-$75K | $23,223 |
| $75K-$110K | No data |

A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At Carnegie Institute, over the last five years 92% of students earned their associate’s degree within four 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 Carnegie Institute.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at Carnegie Institute | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 24% | |
| Asian | 100% | 38% |
| Black | 88% | 26% |
| Hispanic | 100% | 34% |
| Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander | 21% | |
| White | 93% | 41% |
| Multiple races | 29% | |
| Unknown race | 29% |
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 Carnegie Institute, about 82% 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. Carnegie Institute has 142 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 2-year schools.
About 80% of students are female.
And about 78% of students are white.
