About This School
Alaska Career College is a private for-profit institution located in Anchorage, Alaska with approximately 255 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $18,091 per year. Typical graduates earn $32,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $32,000 ten years out, which is modest but manageable given the relatively low median debt of $7,199 — one of the more borrower-friendly outcomes you'll see at a for-profit school. Worth considering if you're pursuing a specific vocational or career-focused credential in the Anchorage area and want to keep debt low, but make sure the program you're eyeing has strong local employer connections, since the small enrollment (255 students) means limited campus resources and networking reach.
