About This School
PCI Academy-Iowa City is a private for-profit institution located in Iowa City, Iowa with approximately 113 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,938 per year. The graduation rate is 68%, and the typical graduate earns $26,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to hands-on vocational or allied health training in a small, structured setting may find this school worth a closer look — but the numbers here deserve careful attention before you commit. The median debt at graduation is a genuinely low $5,828, which is one of the more encouraging figures you'll see at a for-profit school, and the 68% graduation rate is at least functional, though it still means roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish. The harder problem is what happens after: median earnings of just $26,400 a decade after enrollment suggest that even with modest debt, graduates often land in fields where financial flexibility is tight, especially against a net price of $20,938 per year. If you're considering this school, I'd strongly encourage you to find out exactly which program you'd be entering, research local employer demand for that credential in Iowa City specifically, and compare the same credential at nearby community colleges, which may offer similar training at a fraction of the cost. This isn't a school to avoid outright, but it's one where doing your homework on the specific program — not just the institution — will make or break whether it's the right fit for your family.
