About This School
Pima Medical Institute-Houston is a private for-profit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 1,068 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $21,396 per year. The graduation rate is 65%, and the typical graduate earns $30,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are drawn to healthcare careers and want a focused, career-specific program in a major metro area will find this school worth a close look — but go in with clear eyes. The median debt at graduation is a genuinely low $9,500, which is a real bright spot and suggests students aren't leaving buried in loans. The concern is the earnings picture: median income 10 years out sits at $30,600, which is modest relative to the $21,396 annual net price, and the 65% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish — worth asking the school directly about why and what support exists. Before committing, I'd encourage any family to confirm which specific program you're entering, since outcomes can vary widely within a school like this, and to compare this path against community college alternatives in Houston that may cover similar healthcare training at lower total cost.
