About This School

Blue Cliff College-Alexandria is a private for-profit institution located in Alexandria, Louisiana with approximately 345 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,253 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $31,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

Students drawn to hands-on vocational and allied health training in the Alexandria, Louisiana area may find something workable here, but the numbers deserve a hard look before you commit. The graduation rate sits at just 33%, meaning fewer than 1 in 3 students who start actually finish — that's a real red flag worth investigating directly with the admissions office before you enroll. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $9,500, which is lower than many for-profit schools, and the $16,253 average net price suggests aid is doing some work. The concern is that median earnings 10 years out are $31,000, which is tight for managing living expenses, loan repayment, and building financial stability over time. If you're seriously considering this school, I'd encourage you to ask specifically why so many students don't finish and whether the program you want has better completion and placement outcomes than the overall average — those answers will tell you more than any brochure will.
