About This School
Glendale Career College is a private for-profit institution located in Glendale, California with approximately 854 undergraduate students enrolled. The graduation rate is 59%, and the typical graduate earns $32,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
Glendale Career College is a private, for-profit college in Glendale, California. It was established in 1946 by Dr. Byron Prout. It is now owned and operated by the Fuerst family of Success Education Colleges.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 59% graduation rate means roughly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is a real risk worth weighing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $9,500, which limits your financial exposure if things don't go as planned. That said, median earnings of $32,300 a decade after enrollment suggest modest long-term returns, so this makes the most sense if you're pursuing a specific vocational credential with a clear local job market in mind, not broad career advancement.
