Worth considering if you're focused on healthcare training and want to keep debt manageable — the median graduate carries just $8,291 in debt, which is notably low for a private institution. That said, with only 159 students enrolled, this is a very small, for-profit school, and you should closely research graduation rates, job placement outcomes, and program accreditation before committing to the $25,327 annual net price. Ask pointed questions about what former students are doing now — small and specialized can work in your favor, but only if the outcomes data backs it up.
