About This School

Cayuga Onondaga BOCES-Practical Nursing Program is a public institution located in Auburn, New York with approximately 32 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 43% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $33,996 per year. Typical graduates earn $33,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: with a selective 31% acceptance rate and very manageable median debt of just $7,104, this small program (36 students) offers a focused, affordable path to becoming a licensed practical nurse — but the median earnings of $33,400 a decade out are modest and barely exceed the $33,290 annual net price you'd pay to attend. Worth considering if you're committed to the LPN career track and plan to advance your credentials over time, but go in clear-eyed that the financial return is tight and further education will likely be necessary to meaningfully grow your income.
