About This School
North-West College-Riverside is a private for-profit institution located in Riverside, California with approximately 717 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $33,139 per year. The graduation rate is 69%, and the typical graduate earns $30,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
Families considering this school should know upfront that it's best suited for students pursuing a specific vocational or healthcare-related credential who want a small, focused program close to home in the Inland Empire. The relatively low median debt at graduation — just $9,500 — is a genuine bright spot, suggesting students aren't taking on crushing loans to finish their programs. That said, the financial picture still deserves scrutiny: median earnings of $30,900 ten years after enrollment is a modest return, and when you factor in an average net price of $33,139 per year, the math gets uncomfortable quickly — especially for a for-profit institution where you should always ask hard questions about job placement rates and whether credits will transfer if your plans change. The 69% graduation rate is worth understanding too; ask the school directly why nearly one in three students doesn't finish. My honest advice: before committing, compare this program side-by-side with a local community college option, because you may be able to reach the same career destination at a fraction of the cost.
