About This School
Fortis Institute-Scranton is a private for-profit institution located in Scranton, Pennsylvania with approximately 205 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $24,235 per year. Typical graduates earn $23,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $23,600 ten years out, which is modest pay for the $24,235 per year you'd spend attending. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $8,063, suggesting students aren't leaving buried in loans — but that only matters if the career outcomes in your specific program justify the cost, so push the admissions office hard for field-specific placement and earnings data before committing.
