About This School
Stellar Career College is a private for-profit institution located in Modesto, California with approximately 46 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,083 per year. The graduation rate is 81%, and the typical graduate earns $25,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
This small, career-focused college in Modesto is best suited for local students who want a short, affordable path into a specific trade or vocational field — not for anyone expecting a traditional college experience or a high-earning career. The numbers on debt are genuinely encouraging: graduates leave with a median of just $4,834 owed, which is remarkably low, and the 81% graduation rate suggests most students who start actually finish. That said, the earnings picture is a real concern — a median income of $25,700 ten years after enrollment is quite modest, and families should honestly ask whether the credential earned here will open doors that justify even a modest investment of time and money. With only 46 students enrolled, you'll get a tight-knit environment, but very limited extracurriculars, networking, or transfer pathways. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage visiting the campus, speaking with recent graduates about where they're working now, and comparing this program directly against community college options in the area, which may offer similar training at lower or no cost.
