About This School
American InterContinental University-Houston is a private for-profit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 94 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,249 per year. The graduation rate is 5%, and the typical graduate earns $45,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school would need to clear a very high bar to recommend, and honestly, the data makes that difficult — so if you're weighing your options, please read carefully. The graduation rate is just 5%, meaning only 1 in 20 students who start actually finish, and the freshman retention rate of 25% tells you that most students leave after their first year alone. At $20,249 per year in net costs, you'd be paying a real price for odds that are working strongly against you, and graduates who do finish are earning a median of $45,200 ten years out while carrying $31,000 in debt — a tight margin that leaves little room for error. There are for-profit institutions that serve working adults well, but this school's outcomes don't support the investment when community colleges, regional public universities, and even many online programs offer far better completion rates and comparable or stronger earnings. My honest advice: treat this as a last resort, and before enrolling, ask the admissions office directly why retention is so low and what support systems exist to help you be in that 5%.
