About This School
Herzing University-Birmingham is a private nonprofit institution located in Birmingham, Alabama with approximately 442 undergraduate students enrolled. Herzing University-Birmingham has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 93%. The average net price after financial aid is $19,651 per year. The graduation rate is 13%, and the typical graduate earns $41,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the open-access admissions (94% acceptance rate) and manageable debt load of $21,500 make entry relatively low-risk, a 25% graduation rate is a serious red flag that most students who start here don't finish. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan for a specific healthcare or technical program and strong personal support systems in place, since median earnings of $41,600 after 10 years are modest and only meaningful if you actually cross the finish line.
