About This School
Glendale Career College-North-West College-Bakersfield is a private for-profit institution located in Bakersfield, California with approximately 493 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $51,867 per year. The graduation rate is 50%, and the typical graduate earns $32,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students in the Bakersfield area who want focused, career-oriented training and prefer a small, hands-on environment over a traditional college experience. The relatively low median debt at graduation — just $9,500 — is a genuine bright spot, suggesting students aren't leaving buried in loans, which matters a lot for families watching their bottom line. That said, the numbers tell a story worth sitting with: a 50% graduation rate means one in two students doesn't finish, and median earnings of $32,300 a decade after enrollment raise real questions about whether the $51,867 annual net price delivers enough return on investment. Before committing, I'd strongly encourage visiting campus, asking specific questions about job placement rates in your intended field, and comparing this program against local community college options that may offer similar training at significantly lower cost. If you do move forward, go in with a clear plan for completing the program — because the students who benefit most here are the ones who finish.
