About This School
Allen College is a private nonprofit institution located in Waterloo, Iowa with approximately 261 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $52,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
Allen College is a private university focused on healthcare and located in Waterloo, Iowa.
Worth considering if you're set on a health sciences career — this small, focused college of just 279 undergraduates offers an intimate learning environment and a reasonable median debt of $15,000 at graduation. The $52,800 median earnings at 10 years out is decent but not exceptional, so make sure the specific program you're entering has strong job placement before committing. The narrow academic focus is both the school's strength and its limitation — if your interests shift, you'll have few options here.
