About This School
North-West College-Long Beach is a private for-profit institution located in Long Beach, California with approximately 652 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $33,503 per year. The graduation rate is 58%, and the typical graduate earns $30,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students focused on allied health careers — think medical assisting or vocational nursing — who want a structured, career-specific program in the Long Beach area and aren't planning on a traditional four-year path. The median debt at graduation is a genuine bright spot at just $9,500, which is impressively low compared to most private institutions. That said, the numbers tell a story worth taking seriously: a 58% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $30,900 ten years out raise real questions about whether the $33,503 annual net price delivers a strong return on investment. Before committing, I'd encourage any family to ask the admissions office directly about job placement rates and licensure exam pass rates for their specific program of interest — those numbers will tell you far more than the general enrollment stats. If you find those outcomes are solid, the low debt load makes this less risky than many for-profits; if the school can't answer those questions clearly, that hesitation is your signal to look elsewhere.
