What is not reported
The College Scorecard has no figure for a net price, a graduation rate, earnings of former students or loan debt at California Northstate University. That is common for colleges that are small or new, that teach mostly graduate students, or that take few first-time, full-time students, because several measures count only that group. It says nothing by itself about quality. Ask the college directly for the figures that matter to you.
