About This School
University of the Potomac-VA Campus is a private for-profit institution located in FALLS CHURCH, Virginia with approximately 157 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $6,660 per year. The graduation rate is 50%, and the typical graduate earns $54,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for working adults or career-changers in the Northern Virginia area who need a flexible, small-scale environment and aren't looking for a traditional college experience — with only 157 undergraduates, you're not going to get a buzzing campus life here. The standout number is actually the debt load: a median of just $8,769 at graduation is remarkably low for a private institution, which matters a lot if you're financing this yourself. That said, the 50% graduation rate and a 67% freshman retention rate are real concerns — they suggest that a significant portion of students who start here don't finish, and it's worth asking the admissions office directly what's driving that attrition. Median earnings of $54,600 ten years out are decent but not exceptional, so if you're taking on this degree to dramatically boost your income ceiling, you'll want to verify that the specific program you're entering has strong regional employer connections in the D.C. metro market. My honest advice: if you live locally, need flexibility, and can keep your costs low, this could work — but visit, talk to current students, and make sure the program you want has a clear, traceable path to the job you're after.
