Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment

Angeles College is required to comply with Gainful employment (GE) reporting requirements. Gainful Employment (GE) reporting requires postsecondary institutions eligible for federal Title IV financial aid, to provide the U.S. Department of Education with data on students enrolled in GE programs, including enrollment, cost of attendance, financial aid, and post-graduation earnings. This data is used to assess whether these programs are preparing students for gainful employment and to ensure that graduates can repay their student loans.
