About This School
Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts is a private for-profit institution located in San Jose, California with approximately 3,421 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $32,427 per year. The graduation rate is 64%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 70% graduation rate is reasonable for a career-focused allied health school, and the $16,832 median debt at graduation is notably low compared to most private institutions, which is a real advantage. However, that 50% freshman retention rate is a serious red flag — it means half of entering students leave before their second year, suggesting the programs may be more demanding, expensive, or misaligned with expectations than students anticipate. Worth considering if you have a clear, specific career target in healthcare and have thoroughly researched the program requirements, but visit, talk to current students, and understand exactly why so many leave before committing.
