About This School
Fortis College-Smyrna is a private for-profit institution located in Smyrna, Georgia with approximately 607 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,657 per year. The graduation rate is 56%, and the typical graduate earns $28,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to vocational and healthcare-related training who want a smaller, more structured environment may find this school worth a second look — but the numbers here deserve careful attention before you commit. At $23,657 per year in net costs, you'd be paying a significant amount for a credential that leads to median earnings of just $28,300 a decade after enrollment, which makes it genuinely difficult to build financial stability while repaying loans. The good news is that median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $12,547, so if you finish, the debt burden is manageable — but that "if" matters, because only 56% of students graduate, which means nearly half leave without the credential they came for. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage you to ask the admissions office for program-specific graduation and job placement rates, since school-wide averages can hide wide variation between programs. If a specific Fortis program leads directly to a licensure exam or a job with a clear hiring pipeline in your area, it may still make sense — just go in with eyes open and a clear plan for staying enrolled.
