About This School
Pima Medical Institute-El Paso is a private for-profit institution located in El Paso, Texas with approximately 617 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,412 per year. The graduation rate is 54%, and the typical graduate earns $30,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to allied health careers — think medical assisting, radiologic technology, or respiratory therapy — and who want a focused, vocational path rather than a traditional college experience may find this school worth a close look, especially if you're already rooted in El Paso and want to stay local. The median debt at graduation is a genuinely encouraging figure at just $9,500, meaning students who complete their programs aren't leaving buried in loans — that's meaningfully better than many for-profit peers. That said, the graduation rate of 54% gives me pause: nearly half of students who start don't finish, which is a real concern and worth asking the school to explain directly before you commit. The median earnings of $30,600 ten years out are modest, and at a net price of $23,412 per year, the financial math only works if you graduate on time and land a stable healthcare job quickly. My advice: visit the campus, talk to recent graduates in your specific program, and ask hard questions about job placement rates — this school can work, but only with clear eyes about what you're signing up for.
