Students drawn to hands-on vocational or allied health training who want a smaller, local program in Port Saint Lucie may find this school worth a look, but the numbers here deserve a hard, honest conversation before you commit. At $24,615 per year in net costs, you'd be paying a significant amount for a credential that leads to median earnings of just $28,400 a decade after enrollment — meaning graduates are often spending a large chunk of their income just to service debt, even though the median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $12,346. The 56% graduation rate is also a real concern, because nearly half of students who start here don't finish, and if you leave without the credential, you still owe the money. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage you to research the specific program you want, ask the school directly about job placement rates and what employers hire their graduates, and then compare those answers against a community college option that may offer similar training at a fraction of the cost. This school isn't a wrong choice for everyone, but it's one where you need to go in with eyes wide open and a clear plan.
