What we see in the data
At Careers Unlimited, about 118 undergraduate students are enrolled. See the tables below for more cost and aid detail.
Typical pay six years after starting was about $48K, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($25K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($36K). Graduates who borrowed had a median of about $27K in federal loan debt at graduation, higher than the median among for-profit colleges in Utah ($8K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($10K). Ten years after starting, typical pay was about $31K; median federal debt was about 89% of that pay (College Scorecard affordability signal — not ED's program score).
About 54% of students at Careers Unlimited received federal Pell grants (a common proxy for lower family income).
Pathways & Outcomes compares each school to Utah and national pathway medians using federal and state data. Numbers are school-wide averages — not every major or program. Small graduating classes may be hidden for privacy. Apprenticeships and some trade programs are not included.

What this means for you
These questions turn Careers Unlimited's public data into a next step — not a ranking or a guarantee.
- Compare this school to others on your list — averages above hide big differences between majors.
- Open the programs table for typical pay and debt in your field, not just school-wide numbers.
- Compare up to three schools side by side before you apply.
- Ask the financial aid office for net price at your family's income band — not sticker tuition.
- Ask whether students like yours typically finish on time and what they earn in your student's intended major.
- Pair typical pay with federal loan debt in the programs table — completion alone does not guarantee strong pay.
