About This School
Ross College-Grand Rapids North is a private for-profit institution located in Grand Rapids, Michigan with approximately 387 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,033 per year. The graduation rate is 56%, and the typical graduate earns $24,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students pursuing a focused vocational or career-technical credential who want a small, hands-on environment and aren't planning on a traditional four-year path. The relatively low median debt at graduation — just $9,500 — is genuinely encouraging and stands out compared to many for-profit institutions that saddle students with far more. That said, the numbers here raise real concerns: a 56% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $24,600 ten years after enrollment suggest many graduates are not seeing a strong financial return on their investment. At $20,033 per year in net costs, you'd want to be very confident this program leads directly to a job in your field before committing. My honest advice is to ask the admissions office for program-specific placement rates and talk to recent graduates before enrolling — the debt load may be manageable, but only if you actually finish and land work in your chosen field.
