Sumner College is a private for-profit nursing school in Portland, Oregon. It was founded in 1974.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 79% graduation rate is genuinely solid for a focused nursing program, and the relatively low median debt of $16,129 is a real plus. However, median earnings of $35,200 a decade out are on the modest side, so it's worth asking whether graduates are landing full RN roles or staying in lower-tier positions. Worth considering if nursing in the Portland area is your clear goal and you want a small, career-focused program — but compare job placement data carefully before committing.
