How much a student actually pays usually depends, at least in part, on their family's household income. At American National University this year, we project students with incomes between $48K and $75K will pay around $22,030, while students with incomes between $30K and $48K will pay around $16,465. That's a difference of $5,565.

A school’s graduation rate can indicate how likely a student is to complete their degree. At American National University, over the last five years 50% of students earned their bachelor’s degree within six years of enrolling.
Students from different demographic backgrounds often graduate at different rates, so it can be helpful to look beyond the overall graduation rate. This chart shows how students of different races and ethnicities fare earning their degrees at American National University.
| Demographic category | Graduation rate at American National University | National average |
|---|---|---|
| American Indian/Alaska Native | 30% | |
| Asian | 45% | |
| Black | 34% | |
| Hispanic | 41% | |
| Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander | 28% | |
| White | 100% | 49% |
| Multiple races | 37% | |
| Unknown race | 0% | 37% |
Student retention, or how often students return to continue their degree after completing their first year, is another helpful indicator. Over the last five years, at American National University, about 61% of full-time students returned the following fall to continue their degree.
The size and demographic makeup of a school’s student body can have a large impact on a student’s experience. American National University has 1,291 students, which puts it in the {SIZE_PERCENTILE} percentile of for-profit, 4-year schools.
About 75% of students are female.
And about 38% of students are white.
