About This School

ASPIRA City College is a private nonprofit institution located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with approximately 12 undergraduate students enrolled. ASPIRA City College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 100%. The average net price after financial aid is $15,727 per year. Typical graduates earn $23,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers here tell a concerning story: with median earnings of just $23,400 ten years after enrollment, graduates are likely earning less than they would with many trade certifications, and that's before factoring in the $15,727 annual net price. With only 12 enrolled undergraduates and a 100% acceptance rate, this is an extremely small, open-enrollment school — which may suit someone who needs a highly personalized environment, but raises real questions about institutional resources and long-term outcomes. Approach with caution and compare carefully against community college options in Philadelphia before committing.
