About This School
Carrington College-Portland is a private for-profit institution located in Portland, Oregon with approximately 254 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $36,595 per year. Typical graduates earn $28,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of just $28,000 ten years out, which makes the $29,350 annual net price a real stretch financially, even if the debt at graduation ($8,615) is relatively modest. This is a small, career-focused school, so if you're pursuing a specific vocational credential in healthcare or a related field and have confirmed that employers in your area hire from Carrington, it may be worth a closer look. But if you're uncertain about the career path, the earning potential alone should give you pause before committing.
