About This School
Galen Health Institutes-Houston is a private for-profit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 1,582 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $30,222 per year. Typical graduates earn $44,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to healthcare careers who want a focused, career-specific program in a major metro area may find something here worth considering — but the numbers deserve a close look before you commit. The 57% freshman retention rate is a real red flag, meaning nearly half of students who start don't make it through their first year, which should prompt you to ask hard questions about student support and program fit. At $30,222 per year in net costs, you'd want to feel very confident about completion, especially since median earnings 10 years out land at $44,400 — a livable income, but not a lot of cushion if you're carrying significant debt. The relatively modest median debt of $24,166 at graduation is one genuine bright spot, suggesting most students aren't borrowing at alarming levels. My honest advice: before applying, visit the campus, speak with current students or recent graduates, and ask specifically what resources exist to help students who are struggling — that retention rate tells you this school loses a lot of people, and you want to know why.
