About This School
Laurel Business Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Uniontown, Pennsylvania with approximately 515 undergraduate students enrolled. Laurel Business Institute has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 77%. The average net price after financial aid is $7,825 per year. The graduation rate is 74%, and the typical graduate earns $25,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the relatively low net price of $10,086/year and modest median debt of $9,500 at graduation are genuine positives, but median earnings of just $25,200 a decade after enrollment raise real questions about long-term return on investment. Worth considering if you're set on a specific vocational or business program in the Uniontown area and want to minimize borrowing, but compare job placement rates in your specific field before committing.
