About This School
Lionel University is a private for-profit institution located in Carpinteria, California with approximately 480 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $29,539 per year. The graduation rate is 38%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 38% graduation rate means fewer than 4 in 10 students who start actually finish, and a 67% freshman retention rate suggests many students are leaving after just one year. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a surprisingly low $6,334, which softens the financial risk if you do complete the degree. Worth considering only if you've confirmed the specific program aligns tightly with your career goals and have a clear plan for staying enrolled — the data suggests many students don't.
