Total enrollment across both locations is approximately 1,300 students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 19% graduation rate is a serious red flag that suggests many students who enroll don't finish, which is worth investigating before committing. That said, if you do complete a degree, the median debt of just $16,617 is relatively manageable, and the healthcare-focused programs have a clear career path in a field with steady local demand. Worth considering only if you've had an honest conversation with an advisor about what support structures exist to help you stay on track to graduation.
