About This School

Cabarrus College of Health Sciences is a private nonprofit institution located in Concord, North Carolina with approximately 712 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 23% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $17,618 per year. The graduation rate is 71%, and the typical graduate earns $49,900 within 10 years of enrollment.

Cabarrus College of Health Sciences is a private college for healthcare professions on the campus of Atrium Health Cabarrus in Concord, North Carolina. It is affiliated with Atrium Health, a hospital network with more than 70,000 employees and 1,400 care locations, and since its merger with Advocate Aurora Health in 2022, part of Advocate Health. The college offers 19 degree programs in 11 health science disciplines, with a mix of on-campus, online, and hybrid programs.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $11,499 median debt at graduation is impressively low, and the direct affiliation with Atrium Health's massive hospital network gives students a genuine foot in the door for healthcare careers. However, the 45% graduation rate is a real concern — fewer than half of students who start here finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. This is a solid option for focused, career-driven students who are confident in their commitment to a specific health sciences path and want to minimize debt while gaining hands-on clinical connections.
