About This School
UEI College-Tacoma is a private for-profit institution located in Tacoma, Washington with approximately 689 undergraduate students enrolled.

This school is best suited for students who want a focused, vocational path and need to get into the workforce quickly — but the financial picture here deserves a hard, honest look before you commit. At $36,850 per year in net costs, you'd be paying a significant amount for a credential that leads to median earnings of just $30,848 a decade after enrollment, which means many graduates are earning less annually than they're paying per year to attend. The relatively low median debt of $9,500 at graduation is genuinely encouraging and suggests many students are finding aid or keeping borrowing modest, but that doesn't offset the wage ceiling concern. The 58% graduation rate also means four in ten students who start here don't finish, so ask the admissions office directly about what support structures exist to help students complete the program. My honest recommendation: before enrolling, research the specific certificate or diploma you're pursuing, compare it to community college options in the Tacoma area like Tacoma Community College, and make sure the credential opens doors to jobs that pay enough to make the investment worthwhile.
