About This School

Cleveland University-Kansas City is a private nonprofit institution located in Overland Park, Kansas with approximately 79 undergraduate students enrolled. Cleveland University-Kansas City has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 80%. The average net price after financial aid is $33,243 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $53,600 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 33% graduation rate and 50% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't make it through, which is a serious red flag worth understanding before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a remarkably low $9,500, and graduates who do finish report median earnings of $53,600 a decade out. Worth considering only if you have a clear, specific reason to attend — likely the chiropractic-focused curriculum — but come in with eyes open about the high dropout risk and the $33,243 annual net price given those odds.
