Published undergraduate tuition $22,140
Finding Premiere International College charges 33% above the national private for-profit median tuition.
Evidence Published tuition is $22,140. That is 33% above the national private for-profit median ($16,637). Versus the Florida median ($16,838), sticker tuition is 31% above. Versus the U.S. median ($11,900), sticker is about 1.9×.
Method Sticker tuition compared with Scorecard-derived medians by ownership, state, locale, and national rollups when available.
Interpretation Published tuition measures sticker price relative to private for-profit and geographic peers; it does not equal what undergraduates typically pay after aid.
Limitation Sticker comparisons omit room, board, and institutional aid; average net price and income-band net prices are the stronger signals of typical family cost.
Evidence: published tuition at Premiere International College versus school-type, state, locale, and U.S. medians.
Evidence: average net price at Premiere International College versus state, locale, and U.S. medians.
What undergraduates typically pay
Finding Average net price at Premiere International College is $27,427.

Method Average net price from College Scorecard; compared with state, locale, and U.S. medians from EDsmart aggregates.
