About This School
Carrington College-Albuquerque is a private for-profit institution located in Albuquerque, New Mexico with approximately 357 undergraduate students enrolled.

This school is best suited for students who want hands-on career training in healthcare or allied health fields and need a local, accessible option in Albuquerque — but the numbers here deserve a hard look before you commit. At $49,030 per year in net price after aid, you'd be paying a premium that's very difficult to justify when graduates are earning a median of $27,200 a decade after enrolling, which barely covers basic living expenses in most cities. The relatively low median debt of $9,500 at graduation is genuinely encouraging and suggests many students are using grants or employer funding to offset costs — so if you have access to those resources, the picture improves. That said, a 59% graduation rate means roughly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is a real risk worth discussing honestly, especially if your schedule or finances are already stretched. Before enrolling, I'd strongly encourage visiting the financial aid office with specific questions about how that net price is calculated for your situation, and comparing total cost and outcomes against community college programs in the same field — you may find a significantly better return on your investment closer to home.
