About This School

Dorsey College-Grand Rapids is a private for-profit institution located in Grand Rapids, Michigan with approximately 82 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $28,062 per year. Typical graduates earn $24,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school may appeal to students looking for a small, focused training environment in the Grand Rapids area who want to get into the workforce quickly — but the financial picture here deserves a hard, honest look before you commit. At $28,062 per year in net costs, you'd be paying a significant sum for a credential, yet the median earnings 10 years after enrollment sit at just $24,700 — meaning many graduates are still earning less annually than what they paid for a single year of school. The median debt of $13,000 at graduation is relatively modest, which is one genuine bright spot, but that number can climb quickly if you need more than one year to complete your program or encounter any setbacks. With only 82 students enrolled, you'll get a tight-knit experience, but you should ask the school directly for its graduation rate and job placement data before signing anything — those numbers aren't listed here for a reason, and you deserve transparency. My honest recommendation: unless this school offers a specific program you genuinely cannot find elsewhere locally, compare it carefully against Grand Rapids Community College, where similar career training often comes at a fraction of the cost and with stronger earning outcomes.
