About This School
Southern Careers Institute-Corpus Christi is a private for-profit institution located in Corpus Christi, Texas with approximately 578 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $29,343 per year. The graduation rate is 63%, and the typical graduate earns $24,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who want a focused, career-oriented program and need to get into the workforce quickly — think medical assisting, dental hygiene, or similar vocational tracks rather than a traditional four-year path. The relatively low median debt at graduation ($8,708) is genuinely encouraging and stands out compared to many for-profit institutions, which often saddle students with crushing loan balances. That said, I have to be straight with you: median earnings of $24,400 a decade after enrollment is a real concern, and you should think carefully about whether the $29,343 annual net price makes financial sense given that income ceiling. The 63% graduation rate also means roughly 1 in 3 students who start don't finish, so ask the admissions office hard questions about what support exists to help students complete their programs. My practical advice is to talk to recent graduates in your specific program of interest, request placement rate data for that program specifically, and run the numbers on your expected salary against your total cost before signing anything.
