About This School
The College of Health Care Professions-Northwest is a private for-profit institution located in Houston, Texas with approximately 4,530 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,830 per year. The graduation rate is 47%, and the typical graduate earns $30,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the relatively low median debt at graduation ($9,473) is a genuine plus, but a 46% graduation rate means fewer than half of students finish, which is a real concern worth asking admissions about directly. Median earnings of $30,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, and with a net price of nearly $26,000 per year, you'll want to carefully confirm that your specific program leads to higher-paying roles before committing. This school is worth considering if you have a clear, in-demand health care credential in mind and a solid plan to stay enrolled — but go in with eyes open.
