How much does Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics actually cost after financial aid?

The average net price at Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics is approximately $32,618 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 $28,445 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $36,940. 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 Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics?

Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics reports a graduation rate of approximately 76% (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 Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics have?

Students who borrowed at Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics left with a median of approximately $12,230 in federal loans, and about 66% 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 Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics earn?

Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $66,642 for students who received federal financial aid at Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. 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 Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics?

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 Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics.

Does Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?

The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
