About This School

Students drawn to healthcare careers — particularly nursing or allied health programs — are the core audience here, and the small enrollment of 454 undergraduates means you're unlikely to get lost in the crowd. The average net price of $23,843 per year is real money, so it's worth scrutinizing your specific aid package carefully, especially since this is a for-profit institution where costs can shift and accreditation history deserves a close look. The honest concern is that median earnings of $44,400 ten years out, against median debt of $24,166 at graduation, leaves a relatively thin margin — not a crisis, but not a lot of breathing room either, particularly if you borrow above the median. Before committing, I'd strongly encourage you to ask the school directly about program-specific graduation rates, licensure exam pass rates (NCLEX, for example), and how many graduates are working in their field within a year — that data matters far more here than the general enrollment numbers. If those figures hold up well and this is the most accessible path to a healthcare credential for your family, it can work, but go in with eyes open and a clear plan to minimize borrowing.
