Prairie State College reported zero 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents in the score categories (0.00 per 1,000). Zero in those categories is not a safety proof, other Clery tables and unreported harm can still exist, and zero-report campuses are left unranked against each other.

Cost context
Where Prairie State College sits on price and outcomes
At $4,738, Prairie State College's reported average net price is cheaper than 8% among 178 Illinois colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,405.

- average net price

- Illinois median
- 2.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $10,362
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,546, while those above $110,000 record $13,908 - roughly 3.9 times as much. A published average of $4,738 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $30,388 - about 6.4 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Just 20% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.
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.
