About This School
Platt College-Los Angeles is a private for-profit institution located in Alhambra, California with approximately 598 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $28,014 per year. The graduation rate is 62%, and the typical graduate earns $37,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 62% graduation rate is decent for a small for-profit school, and the relatively modest median debt of $15,215 at graduation is a genuine plus. However, median earnings of $37,300 a decade after enrollment are modest, especially when you're paying $28,014 per year in net costs — so be realistic about the financial return on this investment. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, career-focused environment in the LA area and have a clear plan for the field you're entering, but run the numbers carefully before committing.
