Outcomes Overview
ASPIRA City College graduates earn a median of $34,857 ten years after graduation, which is modest but reflects the school's focus on serving Philadelphia's Latino community through career-oriented programs. With tuition of $12,147 and 45.45% of students taking federal loans, debt loads stay manageable compared to four-year schools. The 20.95% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle financially, though this partly reflects the economic challenges facing the communities the college serves. ASPIRA specializes in health services, business, and community support careers that provide stable employment in urban areas. Given the low debt burden and targeted job training for in-demand local careers, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking quick workforce entry.
