About This School
Fortis Institute-Nashville is a private for-profit institution located in Nashville, Tennessee with approximately 393 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $29,039 per year. The graduation rate is 48%, and the typical graduate earns $28,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to allied health or vocational training in the Nashville area may find this school worth a closer look, but the numbers here deserve serious attention before you commit. The graduation rate sits at just 48%, meaning roughly half of students who start don't finish — and if you don't finish, you still owe the debt without the credential. Speaking of debt, the median at graduation is $12,346, which is relatively manageable, but the median earnings 10 years after enrollment are only $28,400, which leaves very little room for loan repayment, rent, and everything else life costs. At $29,039 per year in net price, you're paying a significant amount for outcomes that don't clearly outpace what a community college or a lower-cost vocational program might offer. My honest advice: before applying, visit the campus, ask specifically about job placement rates in your intended program, and compare this school side-by-side with Nashville State Community College — you may find a stronger return on a smaller investment.
