# Stellar Career College

Chicago, IL · For-profit · Certificate-granting

> Federal College Scorecard institution **medians** — not a prediction of any one student's outcome, and not a figure for any single program. Earnings/debt cover federally-aided students.

## The bottom line

| Figure | Value | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Typical earnings, 10 yrs after entry | $30,337 | recorded |
| Earnings range (25th–75th pct) | $13,784 – $45,300 | recorded |
| Typical federal debt | $4,688 | recorded |
| Debt of students who withdrew | $3,694 | recorded |
| Completion rate | not reported | recorded |
| Average annual net cost | $25,959 | recorded |
| % earning above a $28k HS-grad wage | 50% | recorded |
| Debt ÷ a year's earnings | 0.15× | derived |
| Earnings premium vs $28k HS benchmark | $2,337 | derived |



Typical **federal** loan debt is $4,688 (≈ 16% of a year's typical earnings here). Note: this counts federal loans only — not private loans, Parent PLUS, or family savings — so true borrowing is usually higher; and because dropouts borrow less, low-completion schools can show a deceptively low debt figure.

## What this is — and is NOT

Institution-wide medians from the U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard. **Not** a prediction of what you would earn or owe, **not** a figure for any single program (a CS and a fine-arts graduate of the same school diverge enormously), **not** proof the school caused the outcome (selection, not causation), and **not** a "best college" ranking.
