This school is best suited for students pursuing short-term vocational or allied health credentials who need a local, accessible option and have limited time to comparison shop — but I'd encourage that comparison shopping anyway. The relatively low median debt at graduation ($12,547) is a genuine bright spot, meaning students who do finish aren't leaving buried in loans. The concern I can't overlook, though, is the graduation rate of just 35%, which means nearly two out of three students who enroll don't complete their program — that's a significant risk to take on, especially at $27,708 per year in net costs. Add to that median earnings of only $28,300 a decade after enrollment, and the financial math gets tight fast. My honest advice: before committing, sit down with an admissions rep and ask specifically which programs have the strongest completion and job placement rates, because outcomes likely vary a lot by field of study, and that conversation will tell you a lot about whether this is the right fit.
