About This School
Carrington College-Pleasant Hill Campus is a private for-profit institution located in Pleasant Hill, California with approximately 412 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $39,357 per year. The graduation rate is 58%, and the typical graduate earns $33,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to allied health and vocational careers who want a smaller, hands-on environment in the East Bay will find this campus worth a close look — but the financial picture deserves careful attention before you commit. The debt load at graduation is relatively modest at $11,537, which is genuinely encouraging, but the average net price of $39,357 per year is steep for a program that leads to median earnings of just $33,800 a decade out, meaning graduates may spend years feeling financially squeezed. A 58% graduation rate also signals that more than 4 in 10 students don't finish, so ask admissions directly what support exists if life gets complicated — work, family, health — because that's exactly when students here tend to fall off track. If you're set on a specific certificate or associate-level healthcare program and have confirmed this credential is respected by local employers, it can make sense, but I'd strongly encourage comparing it to community college options like Diablo Valley College nearby, which could deliver similar training at a fraction of the cost. The numbers here don't add up to a strong return on investment for most families, so go in with eyes open and a very clear plan for what comes next.
