About This School
Galen Health Institutes-Nashville Campus is a private for-profit institution located in Nashville, Tennessee with approximately 1,027 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,267 per year. Typical graduates earn $44,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students focused on health care careers — particularly nursing and allied health fields — will find a career-aligned program here in a city with genuine medical industry demand, but the numbers deserve a hard look before you commit. The 62% freshman retention rate is a real warning sign: more than one in three students who start here don't make it through their first year, which should prompt you to ask pointed questions about academic support and why students leave. At $27,267 per year in net costs, you'll want to weigh that against median earnings of $44,400 ten years out — the debt-to-earnings ratio is manageable if you graduate, but that retention rate makes graduation far from guaranteed. On the positive side, median debt at graduation of $24,166 is relatively modest for a private institution, suggesting students who do finish aren't leaving buried in loans. My honest advice: visit in person, ask to speak with current students and recent graduates, and find out specifically what support exists for students who are struggling academically — because this school's data suggests that's where families most need reassurance.
