About This School
American Institute-Somerset is a private for-profit institution located in Somerset, New Jersey with approximately 364 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,464 per year. The graduation rate is 51%, and the typical graduate earns $27,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to vocational or career-focused training in a small, hands-on setting may find this school worth a look, but the numbers here deserve a hard, honest conversation before you commit. With a graduation rate of just 51%, roughly half of students who start here don't finish — and that's a red flag worth taking seriously, since dropping out leaves you with debt but no credential. The median earnings 10 years out sit at $27,800, which is modest given that the average net price runs $20,464 per year, meaning a full program could cost significantly more than your first year of earnings. The one genuinely encouraging data point is that median debt at graduation is relatively low at $11,979, suggesting those who do finish aren't buried in loans. My honest advice: before applying, visit the campus, ask specifically about job placement rates in your field, and compare this option carefully against community colleges in New Jersey, which may offer similar training at lower cost with stronger regional support networks.
