For an estimate that fits your own family, use the college's net price calculator.
What is not reported
The College Scorecard has no figure for an admission rate, published tuition, a net price, the share of students who return for a second year, a graduation rate, earnings of former students or loan debt at Southern College of Optometry. 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.
