About This School
Genesis Career College-Cookeville is a private for-profit institution located in Cookeville, Tennessee with approximately 329 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,597 per year. Typical graduates earn $17,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the median debt at graduation is a manageable $5,500, the median earnings of just $17,800 a decade after enrollment is a serious red flag — that's close to minimum wage and suggests graduates struggle to build financial stability. Worth considering only if you're pursuing a specific short-term credential and have a clear local job lined up, not as a path to long-term career growth.
