About This School
Dutchess BOCES-Practical Nursing Program is a public institution located in Poughkeepsie, New York with approximately 85 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $34,342 per year. Typical graduates earn $41,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a relatively encouraging story here — graduates carry just $5,500 in median debt, which is unusually low and means you won't be buried in payments while building your career. The concern worth noting is that median earnings of $41,300 a decade out are modest, especially against a $34,342 annual net price, so this makes the most sense financially if you complete the program quickly and move into a market with strong LPN demand. Worth considering if you want a focused, practical credential without the debt load of a traditional college — but go in with eyes open about the earning ceiling in practical nursing.
