About This School
Arlington Career Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Grand Prairie, Texas with approximately 439 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $24,339 per year. Typical graduates earn $29,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $29,200 a year a decade out, which is modest but does compare reasonably to the low median debt of just $8,015 at graduation. Worth considering if you're pursuing a specific vocational or career-focused credential and want to limit borrowing, but the $24,339 annual net price is steep relative to those long-term earnings, so make sure the specific program you're entering has a clear, local job market behind it before committing.
