About This School
University of the Potomac-Washington DC Campus is a private for-profit institution located in Washington, District of Columbia with approximately 809 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $6,660 per year. The graduation rate is 33%, and the typical graduate earns $54,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 50% graduation rate means only half of students who start actually finish, which is a real concern worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a very low $7,500, and median earnings of $54,600 after 10 years are respectable for a school of this size. Worth considering if you need an affordable, small private school in DC and have a clear plan to stay enrolled, but do your homework on what support systems exist to help you reach graduation.
