About This School
Herzing University-Kenosha is a private nonprofit institution located in Kenosha, Wisconsin with approximately 522 undergraduate students enrolled. Herzing University-Kenosha has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 92%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,066 per year. The graduation rate is 72%, and the typical graduate earns $41,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for career-focused students in healthcare, technology, or business who want a small, structured environment and aren't aiming for a traditional four-year university experience. The relatively manageable median debt of $21,500 at graduation is a genuine bright spot, especially compared to many private schools, and the 72% graduation rate is respectable for the student population it serves. That said, the 57% freshman retention rate is a real concern — it suggests a significant number of students leave after their first year, which is worth asking the admissions office about directly. Median earnings of $41,600 a decade after enrollment are modest, so if you're taking on the full $23,066 annual net price, make sure the specific program you're entering has strong job placement data to justify the investment. Before committing, I'd encourage visiting campus, talking to current students in your intended program, and asking hard questions about what support exists to help students finish what they start.
