About This School
Charles A Jones Career and Education Center is a public institution located in Sacramento, California with approximately 90 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,980 per year. Typical graduates earn $30,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of just $30,000 a decade after enrolling, which is modest but somewhat softened by the very low median debt of $5,308 — meaning you're not taking on enormous risk. With only 90 students, this is a small, vocational-focused environment best suited for someone pursuing a specific trade or career certificate rather than a traditional degree path. Worth considering if your goal is a targeted skill and a quick, low-cost entry into the workforce, but if you're aiming for higher earning potential, you'll want to research exactly which programs lead to which outcomes before committing.
