Worth considering if you want a small, focused program — with only 285 students, you're not going to get lost in the crowd, and a 76% graduation rate is reasonably solid for a for-profit school. The financial picture is manageable: $20,869 in median debt is relatively modest, though median earnings of $48,900 a decade out means you won't be getting rich fast, so make sure the specific program aligns with a career path you've researched. The for-profit status and 50% acceptance rate are worth a second look — do your homework on accreditation and job placement before committing.
