About This School
Pima Medical Institute-Renton is a private for-profit institution located in Renton, Washington with approximately 456 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $31,578 per year. The graduation rate is 65%, 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 hands-on training in a relatively small environment will find this school worth a close look, especially given the surprisingly low median debt at graduation of just $9,500. That's genuinely rare for a for-profit institution, and it suggests students aren't leaving buried in loans. The concern I'd flag honestly is the earnings picture: median income 10 years out sits at $30,600, which is modest for someone carrying any debt at all and living in the Seattle metro area where costs are high — families should map that number against actual living expenses before committing. The 65% graduation rate is middling, so I'd encourage any prospective student to ask the admissions office directly what causes students to leave and what support exists to keep them on track. At $31,578 per year in net price, this is only a smart financial move if you're pursuing a specific credential with a clear local hiring market, so talk to working professionals in your target field in the Renton area before you sign anything.
