Dorsey College-Saginaw is a private for-profit institution located in Saginaw, Michigan with approximately 183 undergraduate students enrolled.

This school is best suited for students in the Saginaw area who need a career-focused credential quickly and have limited options for relocating or attending a larger institution — but the financial picture here deserves a hard look before you commit. At $31,424 per year in net costs, you'd be paying a steep price for a degree from a small for-profit college where the median earnings 10 years out are just $24,700 — meaning many graduates are earning less than what a single year of attendance costs. The graduation rate of 57% also means that nearly half of students who start here don't finish, which is a real risk when you're taking on debt. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $13,000, which suggests students aren't borrowing to the maximum — but that only matters if you actually graduate and land a job that pays enough to make repayment manageable. My honest advice: before applying, sit down and map out your total projected cost, compare it to local community college options like Delta College, and make sure the specific program you want here has a clear, documented track record of getting graduates hired.
