About This School
Career Care Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Lancaster, California with approximately 620 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $50,201 per year. The graduation rate is 72%, and the typical graduate earns $34,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to hands-on vocational or allied health training in the Antelope Valley area may find this school worth a look, especially given its relatively manageable median debt of $16,625 — well below what many for-profit schools leave students carrying. That said, the financial picture deserves a hard look before you commit: the average net price of $50,201 per year is steep for a 620-student institution, and median earnings of $34,200 a decade after enrollment raise real questions about whether the degree will pay for itself in a reasonable timeframe. The 72% graduation rate is better than many comparable schools, which is genuinely encouraging, but it still means roughly one in four students doesn't finish — so ask directly what support systems exist to help students stay on track. My honest advice: before applying, have your student sit down and calculate what monthly loan payments would look like against that $34,200 earnings figure, and compare this program specifically against community college pathways or regional public institutions that may offer similar training at a fraction of the cost.
