We screened institutions in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System for colleges that report a lower net price and share structural similarity with MyComputerCareer at Indianapolis across six dimensions — ownership sector, Carnegie classification, undergraduate enrollment, admission rate, graduate earnings, and completion rate. 5 institutions cleared a 40-percent similarity threshold.

The maximum possible savings across this list is $7,052, achieved by Unitek College at $19,130. Of greater interest to ROI-focused applicants: 5 of the 5 alternatives also report median 10-year earnings at or above MyComputerCareer at Indianapolis’s $41,976, meaning lower cost is not paired with lower earnings. The mean median-earnings figure across alternatives is $89,268.

The similarity scoring treats enrollment size, Carnegie classification, and ownership sector as high-weight features because those structural attributes correlate most strongly with student experience and post-graduation outcomes in the College Scorecard literature. Admission rate and graduation rate enter as secondary features, while net price drives the cost-ranking that determines which institutions appear. Net price is an IPEDS-reported figure calculated as the average cost of attendance minus institutional and federal grants for first-time, full-time undergraduates receiving Title IV aid — so it already accounts for the aid a typical admitted student would receive. That makes it a more honest cost comparison than sticker-price tuition alone.
