Visible Music College decreased from 12 to 8 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 TN 4-year peers in this comparison, Visible Music College is larger than 8% and safer-reporting than 0% - the smaller, 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.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Visible Music College fell from 12 to 8 (-33%). The increase shows up in Robbery (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (11 to 6) and Aggravated Assault (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Visible Music College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Robbery and Aggravated Assault. Motor Vehicle Theft accounts for most of them.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Visible Music College sits on price and outcomes
At $27,820, Visible Music College's reported average net price is cheaper than 93% among 124 Tennessee colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,269.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $27,744 and those above $110,000 report $30,820, a difference of just $3,076. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Median earnings six years after entry ($32,345) are less than 1.2 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.
