PCI College
A good fit for students who want small classes and close faculty access and students from lower-income families. earnings-to-debt ratio is tight; for-profit institutions have higher scrutiny — research carefully. 70% of students receive Pell Grants — strong access mission; 100% freshman retention — students rarely leave.
About This School
PCI College is a private for-profit institution located in Cerritos, California with approximately 149 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,439 per year. The graduation rate is 68%, and the typical graduate earns $25,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 77% graduation rate is genuinely solid for a small for-profit college, and the relatively low median debt of $15,272 at graduation is a real plus. The serious concern is the median earnings of $25,000 ten years after enrollment — that's below what many students earn right out of high school, and it raises real questions about whether the $24,046/year price tag pays off long-term. Worth considering only if the specific program aligns tightly with a local career path you've already researched independently.
