About This School

Denver College of Nursing-Houston is a private for-profit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 135 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $81,809 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school is a strong fit for students who are laser-focused on nursing and want a small, career-oriented program with a clear path to solid earnings. The numbers here actually tell a pretty encouraging story — graduates report median earnings of $81,809 ten years out, and the median debt at graduation is a reasonable $26,500, which means the return on investment looks genuinely favorable compared to many nursing programs. That said, with only 135 undergraduate students enrolled, you'll want to ask hard questions during your visit about clinical placement opportunities, faculty availability, and student support resources, since small for-profit schools can vary widely in quality. The for-profit status also means you should verify accreditation carefully and confirm that any credits would transfer if your student's plans change. My honest recommendation: if nursing is the committed goal and the accreditation checks out, the debt-to-earnings ratio here is one of the better ones I've seen — just go in with your eyes open and ask to speak with recent graduates before signing anything.
