What will it actually cost?

Sticker price: $24,600
Net price (after aid): $33,319

Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

Net price by family income

$0 – $30k: $29,298 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$30k – $48k: $35,942 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$48k – $75k: $36,553 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $0 – $30k, $30k – $48k, $48k – $75k, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $11,053. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.

The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Academy of Interactive Entertainment does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $32,626, above the $32,616 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Louisiana.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Frequently asked questions

About Academy of Interactive Entertainment

Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

Where is Academy of Interactive Entertainment located?
Academy of Interactive Entertainment is located in Lafayette, LA, in the United States.
What type of institution is Academy of Interactive Entertainment?
Academy of Interactive Entertainment is a private community college based in LA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
What is the acceptance rate at Academy of Interactive Entertainment?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at Academy of Interactive Entertainment is approximately 43% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
What is the tuition at Academy of Interactive Entertainment?
Academy of Interactive Entertainment's published in-state tuition is approximately $24,600 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend Academy of Interactive Entertainment?
Academy of Interactive Entertainment reports total enrollment of approximately 89 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Academy of Interactive Entertainment actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Academy of Interactive Entertainment is approximately $33,319 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Academy of Interactive Entertainment?
Academy of Interactive Entertainment reports a graduation rate of approximately 100% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Academy of Interactive Entertainment have?
Students who borrowed at Academy of Interactive Entertainment left with a median of approximately $12,000 in federal loans, and about 43% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How should I verify final details about Academy of Interactive Entertainment?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Academy of Interactive Entertainment.
Does Academy of Interactive Entertainment get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Academy of Interactive Entertainment's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $32,626, above the $32,616 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Louisiana, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
