About This School
Galen Health Institutes-Pikeville is a private for-profit institution located in Pikeville, Kentucky with approximately 169 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $28,475 per year. Typical graduates earn $44,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
This small, focused institution in eastern Kentucky is best suited for students who are committed to a healthcare career and want a tight-knit program close to home — but it's worth going in with clear eyes. The median debt at graduation is $24,166, which is manageable, but the median earnings 10 years out sit at $44,400, meaning you'll need to budget carefully and have a realistic plan for repayment, especially since the annual net price runs $28,475. With only 169 undergraduates, you'll likely get personal attention, but the program's small size also means limited course variety and fewer alumni connections than you'd find at a larger nursing or health sciences school. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage requesting updated graduation and licensure exam pass rates directly from the admissions office — those numbers will tell you more about student outcomes than anything else. If you're set on staying in the region and this program offers the specific credential you need, it may be a practical fit, but compare it carefully against in-state community college options that might deliver similar outcomes at lower cost.
