About This School

Avery James College is a private for-profit institution located in Lake Charles, Louisiana with approximately 74 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,278 per year.

The numbers here tell a cautiously encouraging story — median debt at graduation is just $5,229, which is remarkably low and suggests students aren't being buried in loans. However, with only 74 undergraduates, this is an extremely small for-profit school, and that for-profit status warrants careful scrutiny around accreditation, job placement outcomes, and whether credits will transfer if you change your mind. Worth considering only if you've confirmed the specific program aligns tightly with your career goals and you've compared it against local community college options at a similar or lower cost.
