Sticker price: $15,320
Net price (after aid): $23,382

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

$110k+: $26,284 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $110k+, 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 $784. 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

IBMC College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $40,589, above the $39,622 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Colorado.

It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.

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.

Academics

Studying online: no students were enrolled entirely at a distance

In Fall 2023, none of IBMC College's 306 students were enrolled entirely at a distance, though 84 (27%) took at least one distance course. That is a count of how students enrolled, not a list of what is offered online.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions

About IBMC College

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 IBMC College located?
IBMC College is located in Fort Collins, CO, in the United States.
What type of institution is IBMC College?
IBMC College is a private community college based in CO. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
Is IBMC College open admission?
Yes. IBMC College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
What is the tuition at IBMC College?
IBMC College's published in-state tuition is approximately $15,320 per year. 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 IBMC College?
IBMC College reports total enrollment of approximately 297 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 IBMC College actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at IBMC College is approximately $23,382 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. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $18,926 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $26,284. 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 IBMC College?
IBMC College reports a graduation rate of approximately 86% (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 IBMC College have?
Students who borrowed at IBMC College left with a median of approximately $8,750 in federal loans, and about 74% 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 much do graduates of IBMC College earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $34,432 for students who received federal financial aid at IBMC College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about IBMC College?
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 IBMC College.
How much do Cosmetology graduates from IBMC College earn?
IBMC College's certificate graduates in Cosmetology earned a median $31,427 four years after graduating, 19% above the $26,307 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $22,822; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $6,399 in federal loans at this college (about $68 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $9,832 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
How much do Medical Assisting and Allied Health graduates from IBMC College earn?
IBMC College's certificate graduates in Medical Assisting and Allied Health earned a median $40,867 four years after graduating, 19% above the $34,272 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $32,618; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $11,742 in federal loans at this college (about $124 a month on a 10-year plan).
Which programs at IBMC College have the highest graduate earnings?
Among the 4 programs at IBMC College with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Medical Assisting and Allied Health, certificate ($40,867); Medical Assisting and Allied Health, associate's ($40,055); and Health and Medical Administration, associate's ($34,786) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
Does IBMC College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, IBMC College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $40,589, above the $39,622 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Colorado, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program. It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.
