About This School

Stevens-The Institute of Business & Arts is a private for-profit institution located in Saint Louis, Missouri with approximately 95 undergraduate students enrolled. Stevens-The Institute of Business & Arts has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 71%. The average net price after financial aid is $20,095 per year. The graduation rate is 80%, and the typical graduate earns $29,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — an 80% graduation rate and a manageable $21,000 median debt are genuinely encouraging for a small, specialized school, but median earnings of just $29,400 a decade after enrollment raise real questions about long-term financial return. With only 95 students, you'll get a tight-knit, hands-on experience, but make sure the specific programs align closely with your career goals before committing. Worth considering if you want a focused business or arts education in Saint Louis and have a clear plan for how you'll build on that degree.
