How does the Clery Act affect American National University?

The Clery Act (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to disclose crime statistics and security information annually. The data reported here comes directly from the US Department of Education's OPE Campus Safety and Security Survey.

What is a campus safety score?

The safety score divides 2024 on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents by enrollment, per 1,000 students. It does not include arrests, disciplinary referrals, fire records, unreported harm, or nearby crime. Lower scores mean fewer included incidents relative to enrollment. Only nonzero scores at campuses with 500 or more students are ranked; a 0.00 score is left unranked.

Campus size vs reported safety rate

Among 37 VA 4-year peers in this comparison, American National University is larger than 64% and safer-reporting than 44% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Cost context

Where American National University sits on price and outcomes

See Virginia's cost ranking

At $18,036, American National University's reported average net price is cheaper than 46% among 107 Virginia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,096.

$18,036
average net price: $19,096
Virginia median: 1.9×
six-year earnings to median debt

Median earnings six years after entry ($23,830) are less than 1.3 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.

Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
