About This School
ATA Career Education is a private for-profit institution located in Spring Hill, Florida with approximately 201 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $28,250 per year. The graduation rate is 67%, and the typical graduate earns $34,577 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to career-focused, hands-on training in a smaller setting may find this school worth a closer look — but the financial picture deserves careful thought before committing. At $28,250 per year in net costs, you're paying a significant amount for a credential from a for-profit institution, and the median earnings of $34,577 ten years out raise a real question about return on investment, especially when you factor in that many graduates will carry debt into that salary. The 67% graduation rate is better than many for-profits, which is a genuine positive, and the median debt of $21,030 at graduation is more manageable than it could be — but only if the program leads to a job that actually pays enough to cover it. I'd strongly encourage any family considering this school to research the specific program they're interested in, ask the admissions office for job placement rates and starting salaries for recent graduates, and compare those numbers against community college or apprenticeship alternatives in the same field. This school may be the right fit for a student who has already done that homework and confirmed the credential opens real doors locally — go in with eyes open, not on faith.
