Worth considering if you're set on becoming an LPN and want a focused, practical program — with a median debt of just $14,247 at graduation, you're not taking on crushing loans for a credential that leads to real work. That said, median earnings of $37,200 a decade out are modest, so understand this is a stepping stone career path, not a high-income destination, and the 56% acceptance rate means admission isn't guaranteed. The small cohort of 102 students suggests a tight-knit environment, but do your homework on completion rates and NCLEX pass rates before committing the $18,620/year net price.
