About This School
Valley College-Beckley is a private for-profit institution located in Beckley, West Virginia with approximately 181 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $24,526 per year. Typical graduates earn $23,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $23,100 a year a decade out, which is modest for the $24,526 annual price tag, even if the median debt at graduation stays relatively low at $6,843. The small enrollment of 181 students may mean a more personal experience, but this is a for-profit school in a region with limited economic opportunity, so job outcomes matter more than ever. Worth considering only if the specific program aligns tightly with a local career path — otherwise, compare carefully against community college alternatives that may cost significantly less.
