Avalon Institute-Layton

What we see in the data

At Avalon Institute-Layton, net price is what families actually pay after grants and scholarships. For families in the $0–$30,000 income band, that was about $17K per year, lower than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($19K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($15K).

Finish on time means completing within the normal time frame for the degree (for example, one and a half years for a one-year certificate). About 86% of students finished on time, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah (50%), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide (58%).

Typical pay six years after starting was about $30K, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($25K), and lower than the median among colleges nationwide ($36K). Graduates who borrowed had a median of about $6K in federal loan debt at graduation, lower than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($8K), and lower than the median among colleges nationwide ($10K). Ten years after starting, typical pay was about $31K; median federal debt was about 20% of that pay (College Scorecard affordability signal — not ED's program score).

About 56% of students at Avalon Institute-Layton received federal Pell grants (a common proxy for lower family income). Most undergraduates attend part-time (82%), which can affect how long it takes to finish.

Compared to Utah & national medians

Full comparison to medians among Utah colleges and colleges nationwide that report each measure in College Scorecard (not enrollment-weighted).

Headline comparisons

Cost, completion, and pay — the three measures families ask about most — charted against the same medians.

Source: College Scorecard · institution medians (not enrollment-weighted). Net price uses the lowest reported income band when schools publish multiple tiers. Pay ÷ net price compares typical earnings six years after starting to one year of net price (above 1× means pay exceeds that cost).

Outcomes for Pell & first-generation students

Pell grant recipients are a proxy for lower family income; first-generation students are those whose parents did not complete a bachelor's degree. Compare each row to the school-wide figures above — not every student matches these groups.

Programs with reported earnings

Fields where Scorecard reports median pay with at least 30 students in the earnings cohort — sorted by typical pay, not by major popularity. Each row is one major and credential level at this school.

Top programs by completions

Credentials awarded in the 2023–24 school year (federal completions survey), with typical pay and federal loan debt when Scorecard reports them. Debt can be blank when federal data suppress a program cohort; we use additional Scorecard debt fields when available.

Institution finances

Endowment, state tax support (public colleges), and Parent PLUS loans. Endowment values come from IPEDS via College Scorecard. Many small schools do not report them.
