About This School
American Institute-West Hartford is a private for-profit institution located in West Hartford, Connecticut with approximately 396 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $18,110 per year. Typical graduates earn $27,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of just $27,800 ten years out, which is modest given that most careers take time to build, but the relatively low median debt of $9,304 at graduation does soften the financial risk compared to many for-profit peers. At $18,110 per year after aid, costs are manageable, but you should ask hard questions about job placement rates and which specific programs lead to the best outcomes before enrolling. Worth considering only if you've confirmed that your chosen program has strong employer connections in the local market — otherwise, a community college offering similar training may deliver comparable results at lower total cost.
