Brookline College is an American private for-profit college for healthcare and nursing. It has campuses in Arizona and New Mexico. Founded in 1979, it is part of Unitek Learning, a network of healthcare and nursing colleges in the United States.
This school is best suited for students who are laser-focused on entering healthcare or nursing and want a small, career-specific program rather than a traditional college experience. The relatively low median debt at graduation — just $9,500 — is a genuine bright spot and unusual for a for-profit institution, meaning students aren't leaving buried in loans. That said, the numbers here deserve a hard look: a 40% graduation rate means most students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $23,700 a decade after enrollment are concerning given that the annual net price runs $22,297 — you'd essentially spend a year's salary just to attend for one year. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage sitting down with a current student or recent graduate to understand why so many leave, and whether the program is preparing students for licensure exams and actual job placement in your area. If you do move forward, go in with a clear plan to finish and a realistic picture of entry-level healthcare wages in your region.
