About This School
Detroit Business Institute-Downriver is a private for-profit institution located in Riverview, Michigan with approximately 141 undergraduate students enrolled. Detroit Business Institute-Downriver has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 50%. The average net price after financial aid is $21,533 per year. Typical graduates earn $23,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $23,100 ten years out, which is modest given the $21,533 annual net price and leaves little financial cushion even with a relatively low debt load of $13,583. This small, focused school with just 141 students may appeal to someone who wants a tight-knit vocational environment and a realistic path into business careers, but you should push hard on job placement rates and ask exactly which employers hire graduates before committing. Worth considering only if the specific program aligns closely with a defined career goal and you've compared costs against community college alternatives.
